Rendition Supposing Books The Case of the Vanishing Boy

His memory gone, a mysterious youth knows only one thing: It’s time to run On a crowded commuter train, a young boy shakes with fear, unable to remember how he got there or where he’s going. His memory is a total blank. He doesn’t even know his name. But beside him is a blind girl, Ginny, who has a way of seeing deep within people’s souls. Looking inside the boy’s addled memory, she discovers that his name is Jan—and he has every reason to be afraid. When the train stops, Jan flees into the night, and the police come charging after him.   No matter where he goes—a church, the woods, the back alleys of this cozy suburban town—the hunters keep getting closer. He has incredible powers, and the government wants to use them for evil purposes. As his memory returns, Jan will tame his powers and stop running. With Ginny’s help, he will begin to fight back.

I had vague, but fond, memories of reading this when I was young. It was light and quick, filled with just enough of the paranormal/SF to remind me why I was into it.

FantasticI enjoyed it as much today as I did 20 years ago. I hope I that my kids enjoy it as well.

Jan can't remember who he is or where he's going, but he does know someone is after him. Someone who can manipulate the police, someone whose white van sends him into a state of mindless terror. But Jan has power beyond what even he suspects. Ginny, a not-quite-blind girl he meets on the train, is determined to draw out both his power and his memory. Yet even Ginny and her odd family cannot escape being caught up in Jan's trouble.A boy with amnesia, a whole family with strange powers, and a

Loved the Witch Mountain books & movies. This was a fun read - wish it were longer so we could hear more about these special people, especially Ginny. Seems a precursor to X-Men and similar scenarios. (One of several from the kids shelves that Im reading before donating.)



This isn't my favourite of the Key books I've read (and the title is admittedly kind of unfortunate), but enough of it has stayed with me from when I first read it to now, that I really can't fault it much! I still feel rushed by the ending - everything comes together all of a sudden, and gets explained almost as an afterthought. And the final revelation - the huge one - is done in the last couple of sentences. Maybe I am just used to having more time to process. ;)Still, this story of amnesiac

I was so excited to find out that Alexander Key wrote more than just the Witch Mountain books and The Forgotten Door. This one is a lot more adventure and less mystery than the others, but it has similarities, too. There is the kid (or kids) with special powers trying to get along in the world while being hunted by evil men who want to use them for nefarious purposes. It's not a great book, but it's fun and would have appealed to me even more as a child.
