BetsyP avatar reviewed on + 566 more book reviews


Contemporary teen fiction by Paul Richard Evans. Michael Vey is an ordinary teenager...with secrets. Michael has an affinity for electricity. He is able to electrically shock people, and conduct electricity in other ways. He and his mom have been trying to hide his ability. Michael also has Tourette's syndrome, which opens him up for a lot of bullying.

Then a pretty, popular cheerleader, Taylor sees in him in action one day. Taylor has secrets of her own.

This is a great story. There are bad guys out looking for teenagers just like Michael, who have evil plans.

There are no vampires, faeries, werewolves, zombies, elves or angels in this story. There are also no swear words. This is just a very good thriller with lots of action, a hero to be proud of, and great sidekicks. Great read for any age.
