Super fun short fiction read. Spoiler alert - this is a series, but it did not leave you on a total cliff-hangar. I can live without going on, but students are following it through. I highly recommend this for any reluctant reader.
The lead character is Michael Vey and he has some extraordinary powers. He is not in the popular crowd and his best friend, Austin, is a "super smart geek" who has kept his secret for almost three years. The setting is Meridian High School, yes, our Meridian in Idaho. When Michael accidentally discovers another student, a cheerleader, has something special about her, the three of them form a club and the adventure begins to discover why. This leads to a much larger force and sinister element that could change the world.
Don't be fooled by your knowledge of the author. Richard Paul Evans is known as the bestselling author of "The Christmas Box" and other inspirational books. This book is written for teens and completely appropriate for middle school and high school. It has plenty of excitement and enough of a dark side to be entertaining in that way.
