Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25

Michael Vey follows Michael who can shoot electricity from his hands. He and his friends Ostin (who has no power) and Taylor (who has powers) try to find out the source of their electrifying abilities. As they go deeper into the mystery they meet a mad scientist who wants to brainwash and use their kind. I recommend this book for action and sci-fi readers who love a little suspense too. I loved this book and couldn't put it down until it was done, and I'm still hungry for more. Can't wait for the next one!

Wolf Storm

Wolf Storm is a fast paced novel about 3 young actors Stefan, Raine, and Jeremy filming a movie in the Slovakian Mountains with a man named Cecil and a pack of friendly wolves who also star in the movie. After a day of filming the crew goes into the nearby village leaving them all alone. Then a blizzard prevents anyone from leaving the set or coming to it. Stefan, Jeremy, and Raine try to keep up hope as hungry vicious wolves close in and Cecil falls ill. This book is good for action and suspense readers.

The Ogre of Oglefort

As many of your Eva Ibbotson connoisseurs know, a book of twists and turns, and unruly characters is far the superior to a fairy tale. When the Hideous Ogre of Oglefort comes up against a hag who loves the feeling of wet feet, a young orphan who wants to be her familiar and a whole mosh-pit of other characters, including an aye-aye who was entered in the contest for Miss World, the possibilities of plot twists and evil from strange directions abound, especially in the hands of Ibbotson. In her last book, Eva Ibbotson pulls together her considerably large ares of expertise and puts it all in, creating a story that is as funny as it definitively ends her long career, sailing softly into the sunset. This is her last book, and she will not be printing any more, for sadly Eva Ibbotson has now joined the ranks of the wonderful ghosts she so often puts in her stories. Owen, 12
