There were I think three kids with powers...at least one of them may have had the ability to breathe underwater. I think the paperback cover had a black background with a boy on it, possibly with pointed ears. I read this as a kid, sometime before 1986. It's not much to go on at all. Sorry.

Was it a picture book? Or a ya novel? Or what?
It was a young adult novel of about average length. It seems like one of the kids could find things and see the future, too. One of them had a golden collar or necklace or something and it created a problem for them.
Could it be Child of the Air? I don't remember the plot very well, but the kids found golden necklaces that made them fly.
It sounds awfully like Diana Wynne Jones' 'Power of Three'
I've read the description for Power of Three and that might be it! I've ordered a copy and will be sure, but you may have solved a mystery that's been driving me crazy for over 20 years! HOORAY!
Delanie, That's great. I"m going to move this to the possibly solved folder. Please come back and let us know if it's the book. Thanks.
It was definitely the Power of Three! Wahoo, a mystery solved!
