Spoilers!!!:
Very good book, as much as I would like them to keep the story alive by the characters keeping their ESP, I was glad that the quiet one was the narrator all along. Overall, it was a good book or a good background book, which you read along with a few others.

Sarah Mlynowski keeps you engaged the whole time and has an astonishing finish to the series. Definitely recommend.

Good sequel to the first one.
If you read my review on the first book you will be expecting to find out what it was that bugged me and make me take a star off.
Along with mentioning the glasses issue again in this book (where the girl with poor eyesight hears louder voices than the others when wearing her glasses to correct said poor eyesight), there is the issue with the magnesium supplement.
Again, I really really wish that someone had explained things to the writer.
This one annoyed me even more than the glasses because the writer literally wrote in that Mackenzie had a deficiency.
Not sure if she has ever looked up the definition of deficiency...
noun
a lack or shortage.
This means she takes magnesium supplements already, which would result in her then having normal levels of magnesium.
In other words, she would have the same amount of magnesium as the other espies, until she started taking the extra dose with them.
This means that there is no way that her prescribed supplement could have been making her able to hear through walls.
It is only when she took extra, like everyone else, would she have been able to hear through walls if that's what it caused.
Pi, being the self proclaimed genius that she was, would have realised that this wouldn't have made sense as I'm sure she would understand what a deficiency is.
As I said in the review for the first book, I really hope this gets picked up for a tv show as long as they fix those issues.
It was a great 2 part series to read and I thought the way they "all" lost their esp when they didn't need it anymore was a cute way to finish the story.
