The Supernaturalist was banned from the Lackawanna, NY middles school library because of concerns that it dealt with the occult. (It was later restored following accusations of censorship from some parents and teachers.) Set in the future, The Supernaturalist is an exciting adventure story featuring kids who patrol the city at night hunting parasites they believe are sucking the life force from damaged, or dying, human beings. Cosmo Hill recently joined the group. Apparently he has the ability to spot the parasites, a rare gift. He has escaped from the Clarissa Frayne Institute for Paternally Challenged Boys where he and the other boys were used testing highly dangerous products. The Supernaturalists learn that they have made a grave error. Once again, Eoin Colfer has crafted a masterpiece sure to captivate, inspire, and challenge.
"In comic books, people with gifts become super heroes. In real life, they become outcasts."
