E.S. Pete: Sixth Grade Sense

By Arnold Rudnick

What if you could read everyone's mind... and still couldn't figure out what was going on?

Eleven-year-old Peter Powell is having a tough enough time starting sixth grade without hearing other people's thoughts. But when Pete discovers he has ESP, middle school gets even more complicated.

Reading minds might help Pete survive tests, bullies, and figuring out whether Casey Grant actually likes him. But when Pete picks up the thoughts of a substitute teacher who seems to be planning a robbery, knowing what someone is thinking suddenly becomes serious business.

The problem? Nobody believes Pete. And even when he reads a mind correctly, that doesn't mean he understands what it means.

Soon Pete, Casey, and an unlikely new friend are caught up in a mystery that could turn their ordinary school field trip into something they'll never forget.

Funny, fast-paced, and full of middle-school mishaps, E.S. Pete: Sixth Grade Sense is an adventure about friendship, doing the right thing, and discovering that knowing what people think doesn't mean you have all the answers.
