Michael Vey, 14-years-old, has special electric powers. He discovers he's not alone, which brings him comfort, but also the questions: Why me? Why us?
I enjoyed this. I really enjoyed the characters and thought the science-fiction part was done well. It was a very "clean" book - no swearing, drugs or alcohol. My interest level remained high throughout, even though it was definitely geared to a YA audience, and I was entertained. The ending consisted of a close-to over-the-top climax, but it worked. I look forward to the second in the series titled Rise of the Elgen.
I didn't realize Richard Paul Evans wrote YA - or sci fi. I'm glad you liked this one.
ReplyDeleteBermudaonion ~ I didn't know either until I saw it! :)
DeleteMy kids and my husband love this series! Maybe I should try it!
ReplyDeleteTricia ~ Sure, why not? :) I'm surprised I enjoyed it as much as I did.
DeleteI like that it's a clean YA book. So many of them seem geared for adults to me.
ReplyDeleteStacybuckeye ~ It was full of adventure. YA books shouldn't contain all the muck that most adult books are filled with.
