Five very different teens find themselves drawn into an unexpected group. Sam and Cassie are siblings, with more than the normal rivalries. Ryan is a football player tired of being controlled by his beautiful young girlfriend. Maya, whose mother is dating Seb's father, hates the handsome blonde youth.The events send the five teens to Mr. Harris, a school teacher and football coach. His role is to help them to control and appropriately use the powers. The teacher trains them in the school gym.Jan Raymond's Circle of Five is the first book in the series. I normally don't like prologues. However, Ms. Raymond's prologue was the perfect beginning for the story. The adventures of the five teens and their interactions with one another dovetail into a perfect story for young adult readers.
