Fourteen-year-old Cosmo Hill longs to escape from the Clarissa Fayne Institute for Parentally Challenged Boys. When a rare chance to get away comes, he grabs it, but the attempt goes fatally wrong. He can feel his life force ebbing away, sucked out of him by a strange blue Parasite ...until a wisecracking gang of kids burst in, blast the creature and save him. They are the Supernaturalists, dedicated to ridding the world of these life-sucking blue parasites. When they realise that Cosmo also has the ability to see these blue creatures, they enlist him as one of them too. Their mission leads Cosmo into a world of high-level corruption, James Bond type technology, thrilling adventure and finally back to a place that Cosmo ever thought he'd have to return...the dreaded Clarissa Fayne.

I love this book it is a great book for people in jail and orphans.

The story was about a group of people who could see some kind of creatures and they were killing them but there was a major plot twist in the story. I really liked the book because it made me think about whether that was possible, there are many people who had near death situations and start to hallucinate, maybe its all real, just that people who didn't get a near death situation can't see it? I really liked the book, it had a couple of plot twists in the story so you think it was going one way and then BAM, it goes another way. I really recommend the book, it was pretty good.

It is a very good book at the start when these four people try and save people. So farm favourite character is Mona Vasquez A fifteen year old latino who has a tattoo of parts of a car. I like her because she kicks but!

This is a really really great book! These kids try to destroy these parasites that suck out human life force, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. I really recommend this book, it is amazing!
