Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25

In book one: The Prisoner of Cell 25 of the Michael Vey series your name is Michael Vey and you are like any other kid with Touretts. You get bullied, have a crush on the prettiest girl in school, you love crepes and waffles, live for video games, and homework is one of your own personal demons... the other is a secret only your mother and dorky best friend know; your body is coursing with electricity. Ever since your dad died when you were eight and you moved from your hometown (and from town to town since), finally landing in least know state in America (sorry Idaho) it's been your secret. Until one day you find another Electric Child and your secret becomes not so secret and you find that a very powerful man and 12 of the 17 Electric Children are hunting you; and what they want is exactly what your going to give them. I read this book recently and finished the series in two days. Thanks to Hooked on Phonics I'm a pretty fast reader and the books drew me in on page one. This book is a little slow to begin with, but as the story unfolds and the mystery continues to gain momentum the climax doesn't fall until the last page of book 3. This book has few kisses, a kidnap or three, and some sci-fi plane/vehicle crashes which is expected, but nothing past that. If uncomfortable with that then this book is not for you, but if not then you will love Evans writing. Happy reading!
