Michael Vey: Prisoner of Cell 25

I also read Michael Vey: Prisoner of Cell 25 by Richard Paul Evans over Memorial Day weekend.  This was a pretty non-stop action book.  Michael Vey has known for his whole life that he has a special power.  He can shock people with electricity when he touches them if he wants to do so.  He and his mom moved to Idaho to hide away and try to keep a low profile.  They don't want anyone to know about his special power.  However, one day when Michael is being picked on, he can't take it anymore and shocks the kids who are bullying him.  Unbeknownst to him, popular cheerleader Taylor Ridley observes this and wants to talk to Michael about it.  She reveals that she has a special power too...she can read people's minds and change how they feel through electricity.  As Michael and Taylor (and Michael's best friend Ostin) begin to investigate the source of their powers, Taylor and Michael's mom get kidnapped by those responsible.  Michael has to decide - should he go on the run and save himself or risk being captured in order to save Taylor and his mom.  This book is a series.  I haven't read the second one yet, but it is called The Rise of Elgen and the third book is coming out later this year.  Happy reading!
