I just finished this book and it was really good. It's super interesting and fun, even though it's not too fast-paced. It has some really cool futuristic ideas that I think lots of kids will think are awesome! It's an AMAZING book.

Michael Vey is a great book about a boy who has electric powers. He can blast stuff with electric balls and is extremely powerful and cool. The Elgen created him and 16 other babies. Doctor Hatch is the villain trying to convince Michael that he should kill people along with some of the other children.Follow along on this 7 book series about the Elgen kidnapping his mother and Michael saving his mother. And watch as this boy’s life will be ruined. And meet characters like Zeus the guy who can shoot lightning bolts, but he could die if you push him in a pool. And Taylor, Michael's girlfriend, who has a confusing set of powers like rebooting. This book is awesome!!!

Ender Wiggin is a strange character. He was literally birthed to lead. His older brother Peter was to violent, and his older sister Valentine was too sympathetic/nice, and so Ender was their last chance. Ender takes on virtual bad guys and becomes a commander in a training school. Right when he becomes commander he wins every battle against  the other commanders but he becomes less connected from reality. Ender becomes a fearless commander with hardships in his way.

Ready Player One is a phenomenal book that sucks you in from the very beginning and will not let you put it down. You are automatically put in the shoes of a poor kid whose parents died and lives with his evil aunt. It is a mix of Sci-Fi and fantasy.
