Summary
A generations-spanning family of psychics - both blessed
and burdened by their abilities - must use their powers to
save themselves from the CIA, the local mafia and a skeptic
hell-bent on discrediting them in this hilarious, tender,
magical novel about the invisible forces that bind us. The Telemachus family is known for performing inexplicable
feats on talk shows and late-night television. Teddy, a
master con-man, heads up a clan who possess gifts he only
fakes: there's Maureen, who can astral-project; Irene, the
Human Lie Detector; Frankie, gifted with telekinesis; and
Buddy, the clairvoyant. But when, one night, the magic fails
to materialize, the family withdraws to Chicago where they
live in shame for years. Until: as they find themselves facing a troika of threats
(CIA, Mafia, an unrelenting skeptic), Matty, grandson of the
family patriarch, discovers a bit of the old Telemachus magic
in himself. Now, they must put past obstacles behind them and
unite like never before. But will it be enough to bring The
Amazing Telemachus Family back to its amazing life?
