Michael Vey looks like a normal, slightly puny, fourteen-year-old. He gets bullied at school, stresses about his tests, and plays video games. But he has a secret- a BIG secret. One day, when the bullies finally push Michael over the edge, he shocks them with his own electric force. A cheerleader, Taylor, sees him shock the bullies, and wants to talk with him about it. She has her own secret to share with him, and together with Michael's friend Ostin, they all form the "Electroclan!"
As Michael and Taylor learn more about their abilities, they start investigating their births and missing records from the hospital. When Michael's mom is abducted by people wanting to talk to Michael about his powers, he has to decide how far he is willing to go to rescue her and others.
Can I just say: wow! I had a lot of fun reading this book, and a hard time putting it down to make dinner! The story line is incredibly fast paced and engrossing. Things keep happening in this book, and you don't want to leave it hanging! Great writing and super story telling!
Overall, I loved this book! Would recommend it to both boys and girls starting around middle school age. I don't remember any swearing, and there was nothing inappropriate sexually. Very intense action and emotional in places. Great book, will definitely hand this out to kids. Plus, the sequel is out! Woo hoo!
