Michael Vey: Rise of the Elgen (Book 2)

Michael Vey: Rise of the Elgen (Book 2)

By Richard Paul Evans

"My name is Michael Vey, and I'm more electric then an electric eel. I always thought I was the only one like me, but I'm not. I just found out that there were originally seventeen of us. And the people who made us this way, the Elgen, are hunting us down. You might say we were an accident. The Elgen corporation created a machine called the MEI (short for Magnetic Electron Induction), to be used for finding diseases and abnormalities in the body. Instead it created abnormalities us." My book is called "Michael Vey Rise Of The Elgen". It was written by Richard Paul Evans. The passage I chose was " I cupped my hands together, I was making a snowball, and pulsed. To my surprise a ball of electric formed almost like a soup bubble, except with more weight, like a Ping-Pong ball." I chose this passage because I was surprised he could do that. A connection is that I have talents too. If you want a book with action this is your book. This is a five star book. I recommend this book and the first one.

Liesl & Po

Liesl & Po

By Lauren Oliver

Surprisingly, Liesl & Po was one of the best non-horror books I ever read. I normally go for horror, science fiction, or future fiction books, but this one caught my eye. It was very emotional in some parts and I even found myself feeling pity for Will (an alchemist's apprentice). I recommend this book for those who like touching stories about friendship and adventures. Enjoy if you decide to read :)

In Real Life

In Real Life

By Cory Doctorow

Yes, Tina was right. I read till half the book at the library and it got boring as I read through. It was good for fist couple chapters, but when I reached half of the book, it suddenly got really lame. You can try this book I guess, it's only my option so, yeah. This book wasn't that impressing but it was not that waste of time.

Michael Vey 6: Fall of Hades

Michael Vey 6: Fall of Hades

By Richard Paul Evans

Wars are not won with manpower, they are won with checkbooks. That is what Michael Vey and the Electroclan is doing in Michael Vey Book 6: Fall of Hades by Richard Paul Evans. This book takes place on modern times and is in several places in the World. The Electroclan are going to carry out their deadliest mission yet, stealing the Elgen’s floating Fort Knox, the Joule which is in Tuvalu. In Fall of Hades Michael Vey and the Electroclan with the Resistance are the Protagonists, the antagonists are Admiral General Hatch and the Elgen Inc. Hatch has sentenced 2 of his electric teens, Tara and Torstyn to death and another electric teen, Quentin to a lifetime incarnation to a monkey cage. The Electroclan is also planning on freeing their former enemies Quentin, Tara, and Torstyn before hijacking the Joule because the Electroclan will need their powers to steal the floating gold vault. The turning point in this book is when Captain J.D. betrays the Electroclan and notify the Elgen and Admiral General Hatch that the Electroclan has come to free Quentin, Tara and Torstyn. Things then continuously get worse and worse for the Electroclan. Will Michael and the Electroclan successfully hijack the Joule or has Michael’s luck finally ran out? I would recommend this everyone who likes science fiction and an action packed book. Notice: Please read Michael Vey books 1,2,3,4,5, before reading Fall of Hades.

Michael Vey 4: Hunt for Jade Dragon

Michael Vey 4: Hunt for Jade Dragon

By Richard Paul Evans

Michael Vey: Hunt for Jade Dragon is the fourth book in the Michael Vey series. The book stars a boy named Michael and his friends, a group called the Electroclan. Most of the Electroclan are electric; the kids have electric powers that vary from person to person. There are 13 electric children. However, they are hunted by the Elgen, the corporation who made them electric, and have some of the electric children on their side. The Elgen recently kidnapped a autistic genius named The Jade Dragon who has the formula for creating more electric children. The Electroclan will have to travel to Taiwan to rescue the Jade Dragon and stop the Elgen from creating more of them. This book is the best in the series so far, as it is humorous at the right times, while being sad when it needs to. I recommend this book to any middle schooler that read the first 3 books and enjoyed them. This book gets a 4 out of 5 from me as it is a good book.

The Taken (Foxcraft #1)

The Taken (Foxcraft #1)

By Inbali Iserles

The Taken starts by introducing Isla the fox and her family, describing their life. Then Isla is separated from her family. When she returns home she finds her family's den surrounded by strange foxes who are burning it down, and her family have disappeared. Isla sets off on a dangerous journey into the furless one's city, in order to track down her family. On the way she meets another fox who is searching for her twin brother. He says that he has been sent by the Elders. But can he be trusted? On her trip Isla learns about the true meaning of family, faces danger around every corner, and learns about the magic of Foxcraft. To be honest I had a tough time at the beginning of the book. At that point I think that there were too many adjectives that could have been taken out. It was hard to get into the story. But I continued reading, and once the action started to rise I could hardly put the the book down. Isla faced trial after trial of survival. There were many surprises, and I loved looking back and noticing parts of foreshadowing, or clues to an event that would happen later in book. I recommend this book to middle grade students and older, as there was a lot of action and fighting. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

The Revenge of Magic

The Revenge of Magic

By James Riley

This book is awesome! You don’t know what is happening for the first few chapters, and then everything starts making sense and you get immersed into the world of magic! The way kids learn magic is a cool idea, and over all Revenge of Magic is basically if Harry Potter was controlled by the government. I recommend this book!

The Mage (Foxcraft, Book 3)

The Mage (Foxcraft, Book 3)

Animal luvr V.S

I just started reading a couple pages of this book but I’ve already read the first and second. I LOVED the other books and I’m really excited to read further into this one(if it’s awesome like the previous books which I’m sure it is). I love the detail of the books although the vocabulary can be a little more complex at times. I find the Isla’s adventures very interesting along with new characters she encounters throughout her journeys. I also find the different Foxcrafts very interesting along with the chants( it makes me wish I was a fox so I could preform them as well)! I’m sad that this is the last book but I’m really happy I discovered this sequel. I recommend these books to all animal lovers and even if you’re not one, yet*, it’ll definitely make you loves foxes!

Rainbow Magic Special Edition: Brianna the Tooth Fairy

Rainbow Magic Special Edition: Brianna the Tooth Fairy

By Daisy Meadows

I read this years ago. It's a good one.

Skulduggery Pleasant

Skulduggery Pleasant

By Derek Landy

This is the third book in the "Skulduggery Pleasant" series and in this book Valkyrie and Skulduggery are trying to find out who is killing the Teleporters and planning to bring back the dark gods. In this book, I liked how the author added a mysterious and creepy feeling in some parts and like the other books in this series, you can't guess who and what will happen next. When I finished the book, I was very surprised to find out who was actually the bad guys because like I said, the author made it very unpredictable. I also liked how the author sometimes used a chapter to show us the conversations of the antagonists so we can know what's going on for the antagonists and what they are planning, because some other books might just be talking about the main character and we won't even have a clue who or what the antagonists are and what they are doing. I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend this book to others who like magic and would rate it 5/5 stars.
