Kids Books - Science Fiction

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 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.

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!

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!

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

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.

What if the world's greatest serial killer was your dad? I Hunt Killers By Barry Lyga. I would give this book 4 out of 5 stars. I liked the book because it was very detailed, and it had a lot of suspense, action and mystery. Jasper’s (Jazz) dad was the world's best serial killer. He had killed over 300 people before getting caught. Jazz’s mom disappeared many years ago, and Jazz barely remembers her. Before Jazz was old enough to know any better, Billy Dent (Jazz’s father who he calls Dear Old Dad) attempted to teach Jazz the all the tricks to killing and how not to get caught and how not to feel bad about it. Now that Billy is in prison, Jazz is trying to have a normal highschool life. He lives with his grandmother, who's rapidly becoming crazy. He also has a best friend he would do anything for, and a girlfriend. Then when dead bodies start piling up in Lobo's Nod. Jazz starts experiencing those same feelings he had when he was with his dad. His dad is still locked up, but Jazz believes it's another serial killer. In an effort to prove murder doesn't run in the family he joins the police in a hunt to find the killer. Will things he had learned from his Dad help him hunt down the killer, Or could Jazz be more like his father than anyone would have thought? I Hunt Killers is the first book in a series. The next book in the series is Game. A Similar book to I Hunt Killers is called I Am Not A Serial Killer. I think that boys or girls would like this book. Especially people who like reading about investigators, police, killers, mysteries, suspense, and action.

The lesson that DR. Jekyll learns is that he shouldn't have taken the drug because it changes his life forever. For example, when DR. Jekyll turns into Hyde, his personality changes into evil. He can be hazardous because in the book it says that he killed someone and ran away. This shows that trying to change yourself has very negative affects. For one, he can't spend time with the people he likes, for fear of turning into Hyde, and he can't do his projects because he might turn into Hyde. Also,now people are going to keep an eye on Hyde and if someone sees him turn back into Jekyll, then it will be really risky. DR. Jekyll will be in a worse situation because of it and now, he can never be himself without Hyde. If Jekyll didn't take the drug, he would be better off without Hyde around. I rate this book a “7 out of 10” and the illustrations a “5 out of 10.” I really recommend this book because it is full of mystery and action and after every page there is a picture, which makes it very easy to visualize. One unanswered question I would like to ask is… What made MR. Hyde so evil? Was it something in the drug? If so, would Jekyll still have some control over Hyde because Jekyll has the same brain when he turns into Hyde?

Best book series I've ever read.
