The Intuitives Kindle Edition

"I LOVED The Intuitives! I want more. I NEED more." - Teacher of YA Book Blog

IMAGINATION JUST BECAME OUR GREATEST WEAPON.

In Egypt, an archaeological team discovers the lost tomb of Alexander the Great. Seven years later, every public school student in America takes a strange new test, but only six are chosen to attend a summer program at the mysterious Institute for the Cultivation of Intuitive Cognition, where nothing is as it appears to be, including the students themselves.

The Lonely Artist. Roman, 11.
Sees things. Around people. Things he can never, ever tell.

The Sarcastic Nerd. Samantha, 16.
Isolated by a premonition even she doesn’t understand.

The Shy Musician. Daniel, 17.
Hides his private thoughts in the soundtrack of his mind.

The Bubbly Engineer. Kaitlyn, 15.
Can fix anything, except the one thing that matters most.

The Disciplined Athlete. Mackenzie, 17.
Armors her deepest fears against a world she can’t control.

The Frustrated Gamer. Ashton, 17.
Hoping to turn pro, and a constant disappointment to his father.

But why is the U.S. government so interested in six outcasts? And what, exactly, is it teaching them to do? Now, they must band together to uncover the true purpose behind the institute—and the ancient secrets that lie hidden beneath its surface ...

BEFORE HISTORY CATCHES UP TO THEM.

Editor's Note

The Intuitives was edited by Sybil Carey, a former editor at Harbridge House. She spent her later years as a freelance editor and co-director of the Abbie Greenleaf Library in Franconia, NH. She "went to dance with the stars" on Sunday, December 20, 2015. The Intuitives was her final editing project.

Although she died before she had the opportunity to write a formal editor's review, Sybil spoke often of her love for these authors and for this book in particular. "The writing is so vivid!" she would say. "The characters are so real!" We wish she were still with us--for far more personal reasons than for the review she would have written.

"I love being part of this team. xoxoxoxo," she wrote on October 5, 2014. We've run our fingers over the x's and o's a thousand times since, cherishing each one, wishing they were more than just memories. She is credited for her editing on the very first page of
The Intuitives, and she is in the final acknowledgments on the last. The book both begins and ends with her.

We hope readers will love it and believe in it as much as she did.

Advanced middle school students and high school students who enjoy adventure, fantasy, and suspense stories will love this book. It emphasizes the power of intuition and the importance of friendship. The characters are well crafted, and the plot line is intriguing because there are tough choices for the characters, high stakes, and unexpected twists and turns. The dialogue is captivating and shows an awareness of audience, along with an appreciation for preteens and teenagers. This book would be a great choice for secondary library shelves.
~ Journal of Language and Literacy Education

This novel is meticulously written and beautifully crafted. Part thriller, part fantasy, it captures the imagination and leaves you wanting more. Libraries will be clamoring for this one for their Young Adult collection, and I'll be the first in line. I'm ready for the sequel!
~ Donna Alvis, Branch Manager, West Georgia Regional Library

    Actual rating: 4.5 stars!

    There is a lot to love about this story and I was hooked right from the start! With an interesting and unique plot, fantastic characters, and brilliant writing...there is no way you won't love this story!

    I want to intentionally stay a little vague in regards to the plot because it's better to stay in the dark until you actually find out what is going on. However, what I will say is that this story is told from multiple POVs. Every teenager has a unique ability--for example, Roman sees things no one else sees; Sam intrinsically knows the time; Daniel loves music and basically has a soundtrack in his head for every situation and person; Mackenzie is a skilled fighter: Kaitlyn can fix anything and everything; and Rush is an extremely talented gamer. The only perspective we don't read much from is Roman, which I definitely would like to see his side of things more. After each of the teens takes a standardized test that gives them the opportunity to join a "special" summer program, all of these abilities start coming into play in a way none of them (including the reader) expect.

    While the story was a little slow in the beginning, this was because we get background on each of the 6 main characters. We learn a little bit about each of them and what their lives are like (as well as the sacrifices they must make to attend the program). However, after they arrive at the program, the story quickly picks up the pace and has you at the edge of your seat! I definitely didn't have any idea where this book was headed which was exciting to me as a reader because I liked to be surprised. Each character is very well-developed by the end of this book in my opinion, and it was fun to see how each of their abilities figured in to the bigger picture and underlying plot. I loved watching all of them come together and form a team, even though initially none of them wanted to be working with each other. The group dynamic was fantastically written, and I am interested to see how this plays out in future books!

    I think the thing I appreciated the most about this book is that it could have been incredibly predictable...but it wasn't! The Intuitives felt new and fun, like nothing I have read previously. There was the perfect balance of action, world-building, and character development throughout the story. The book just had a good flow, and that was something that kept me glued to the page.

    There was a minor subplot that tried to incorporate romance between several characters. However, I truly didn't think this was needed. This was the only part of the story that felt more forced and unnatural. It kind of seemed like an afterthought in some scenes. Maybe with a bit more development in future books, this aspect will grow to be something I like. But for now, not the biggest fan. The only other thing that was a bit confusing for me was the nicknames of the characters. Because there are 6 main characters it became a little overwhelming to remember who was who (especially when you can't actually see the characters except inside your head). On top of this, the characters went by both names throughout the story. So, in essence, you had 12 different main character names to remember. And that's a lot for anyone! I wish the authors just stuck with 1 name consistently.

    I highly recommend this new novel! It's thrilling and exciting to the very last page, and something new and different. The story is unpredictable and will have you on the edge of your seat and begging for more after the conclusion. I can't wait to see what is next in the series!

    Happy reading :)

    The Intuitives was one of the best Young Adult books I've read in awhile. At first you might think it's going to be another dystopian adventure involving young teens saving something...but it's so much more than that! It builds on the lives of six young people, each with a special set of gifts that sometimes alienates them from the world at large. As they are drawn into a world that uses their collective gifts in a way they could never have imagined, one sees the inner obstacles they must overcome and the personal bonds they form. This novel is meticulously written and beautifully crafted. Part thriller, part fantasy, it captures the imagination and leaves you wanting more. Libraries will be clamoring for this one for their Young Adult collection, and I'll be the first in line. I'm ready for the sequel!

    Two thumbs up, 5 stars plus, this was a fabulous book! I see now why the rave reviews from other readers. The characters are all fascinating, each with their individual talents. It was really cool how the authors described their talents in the beginning and then eventually showed how those talents could be useful. My favorite thing is how they each combined what seemed like odd or unusual traits to become a powerful whole. Society is often not kind to those who are "different" than the rest, but this book shows how individual differences each have a place and an importance. I love the sense of family and belonging that they all develop. Honestly, I highly recommend this book! I'm looking forward to the next one!

    I really enjoyed this book. It's plot was great, the characters (had to read the intro of each twice but I finally got it) were well written, and the book moved at the right pace. I hate it when a book bogs down in minutiae and then I can't wait for it to be over or I quit it because I'm bored. This is not that book! I hope there are going to be more but thank you for this one.

    I liked the premise of a nation-wide search for kids with special skills to be used in a secret project. But the application of those skills seemed kind of corny, especially the way some of the kids needed to act out their roles.

    Persian mythology meets anime/power rangers (it's what comes to mind, without the suit.) I love being surprised with how stories turned up. I love reading about kids developing into their powers but this one is deeper, as Ammu guide them to be more respectful, patient, honest and accepting. Though there were instances that it repeats thus slowing the story, I guess it helps set the mood. A nice twist on Alexander the Great... or was it?

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 15, 2020
    To be honest I bought this because it was on offer. I like Anthony Horowitz's Power of Five, Dave Gibbons & Matthew Reilly's books so when I read the synopsis of this book thought was worth a try, a bit of light diversion while on lockdown. Didn't expect to find a page turner. Couldn't put it down. A well written story, engaging characters and a good ending. A good book leaves you wanting more and there is certainly huge scope for the author's to consider what happens next. A trilogy would be ideal please
