Teens, parents, teachers and community
leaders concerned with the dark and violent content in today's popular young
adult novels can find an alternative in the second installment of the Michael Vey series by Richard Paul Evans ("The Christmas Box"): "Michael Vey 2: The Rise of the
Elgen."
Last year, the first book of the Michael
Vey series was an overwhelming success, reaching #1 on NY Times Bestseller
List (Teen Fiction).
ABOUT THE BOOK
Michael was born with special electrical powers—and he’s not
the only one. His friend Taylor has them too, and so do other kids around the
world. With Michael’s friend Ostin, a techno-genius, they form the Electroclan,
an alliance meant to protect them from a powerful group, the growing Order of
Elgen, who are out to destroy them. The leader of the Elgen, Dr. Hatch, has
kidnapped Michael’s mother, and time is running out.
After narrowly escaping an Elgen trap, Ostin’s discovery of
bizarre “rat fires” in South America leads the gang to the jungles of Peru,
where the Electroclan meets new, powerful foes and faces their greatest
challenge yet as Michael learns the extent of the Elgen’s rise in power—and the
truth of their plan to “restructure” the world.
Evans is the winner of the American Mothers
Book Award, two first place Storytelling World Awards for his children’s books,
the Romantic Times Best Women’s Novel of the Year Award, and two Wilber Awards
for Fiction. Evans received the
Washington Times Humanitarian of the Century Award and the Volunteers of
America National Empathy Award for his work helping abused children.
