Abby Carnelia's One and Only Magic Power / David Pogue / 277 pages

Abby Carnelia discovers while helping prepare dinner one evening that she has an unusual power.  When she tugs on both earlobes and looks at an egg, she can make it spin.  Her parents send her to the brand new sleep-over Camp Kadabra.  She wants to learn the source of her power and find other kids like herself.  Ferd, a counselor at the camp, recommends that she transfer to a super camp with people with powers like herself.  The camps were built by Calabra, a drug company,  Abby and Ben discover.  The camp had planned hypnosis, surgeries, and tissue samples for the campers.  How will Phil - who sounds like Kermit the Frog, react to their confrontation?

"Is there something waiting to be discovered inside every kid on earth?"
