ANGEL POWERS has never taken karate lessons from a man with superhuman speed before. She's never moved 750 pound indestructible cubes with her bare hands. She's never even played the flute in a rock band. But at the American Talent Instruction School for gifted children, Angel is doing lots of things for the first time, like making friends that can hang from the ceiling by their toes, bend steel, and breathe underwater. However, ATalentIS is more than just fun and games, and Angel soon discovers a mystery that could mean the end of the secret school and her new friends.
