BOOK REVIEWS
"I rated this book a five because it kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. The action sequences towards the end of the book are very engaging and entertaining. I enjoy good science fiction that seems believable. I also love a story that has a character that demonstrates integrity and leadership. Michael Vey should be in every middle school library in this country." - Andrew Palmer

"We waited in line hours to have it signed by Richard Paul Evans. He was great. However, the book it itself is wonderful. My child, who hates reading, wouldn't put it down. She read it all within a day and we had to MAKE her take breaks. I would recommend this book to anyone with children between the ages of 9 or 10 and 16 to 17." -A. Hunt

MUSIC
Eminem - Not Afraid (Clean)
"Not Afraid" by Eminem is a song that definitely describes Michael Vey. This song describes someone who isn't worried about what others think, and someone who shows no fear. Michael acted fearless when taking on the Elgen, and was "not afraid to take a stand". He showed true bravery and stopped at nothing to protect his friends, and his mother.
