of this one series but I remember reading it as a middle schooler in the early-00's and it was about a group of children with supernatural abilities. one girl was telepathic and listened to metal to drown out peoples thoughts, and there were some dark creatures that caused magnetic disturbances (paperclips made a big appearance) and now that I've written it out it sounds quite a bit like stranger things.
but also,

Captain Underpants
Animorphs
Incarnations of Immortality (which was v much not age appropriate mom what were you thinking)
