Random House Books for Young Readers sent me a copy of this book for review (thank you). It's for ages 10-14 and is currently available for sale at your local bookstore.
A long time ago, I watched a movie where the teenagers banned together and refused to trust anybody over 30. This book uses the premise that it's not even safe to turn into teenager...
The kidnappers tell Ethan that the earth was invaded fifty years ago and now an alien collective rules the world and anyone who's a teenager or older. Ethan doesn't believe them, steals a flying suit that resembles an insect and returns home. But what he finds there after acquiring some knowledge from his kidnappers is heartrending.
This is a fast paced fantasy story with a smart young boy as the main character. The flying suits are wondrous and the forces of evil are overwhelming. If your child likes playing video games, he or she will like this book. Why not let their imagination fly?
The good news is that this is the first book in the series. Ethan has more challenges and adventures ahead of him.
Happy reading!
