Elixir

Elixir by Ted Galdi

   This book surprised me. I feel it's more for young
adults, and not a suspense as listed. BUT it's really
good book filled with well-developed characters,
lots of action, and a great story line.
    The main character Sean Malone, a fourteen year old
kid who has a IQ of 250 and feels there is something wrong
with him, but ends up saving the world. Loved the book,
I gave it four stars.

This book was free from Goodreads author Ted Galdi.
