Action-Packed Teen Series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Richard Paul Evans


To everyone at Meridian High School, fourteen-year-old Michael Vey is nothing special, just the kid who has Tourette’s syndrome. But in truth, Michael is extremely special—he has electric powers. Michael thinks he is unique until he discovers that a cheerleader named Taylor has the same mysterious powers. With the help of Michael’s friend, Ostin, the three of them set out to discover how Michael and Taylor ended up with their abilities, and their investigation soon brings them to the attention of a powerful group who wants to control the electric teens—and through them, the world. 
This book was recommend to me by one of my best friends. I was skeptical at first upon picking this book up because by the cover made the book seem like a childish story of a kid with electric powers which is basically how a stereotype in books. Usually any kid with powers in a book is either electrical or super strength.The way this author tells of how Michael and the other powers come to be is brilliant.  Richard Paul Evans has created a character that will entertain both adults and children. I found myself absorbed in the story just several pages in. Michael Vey is, ostensibly, an average teenager, 14 years old, who has the same problems as others in that awkward age group. He finds himself the victim of bullying, mostly due to his facial tics, a result of Tourette’s. He doesn’t fit in with most kids in school, and the girls avoid him whenever possible. I could not put down this book with a twist at the end of each chapter, pulling the reader closer and closer. The book is very vivid in detail and I HIGHLY recommend this book. If you liked Percy Jackosn this is a book for you.

I give it 5 Stars ★. 
This book is truly Electricfying.
