Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25

Summary
To everyone at Meridian High School, fourteen-year-old Michael Vey is nothing special, just the kid who has Tourette’s syndrome. But in truth, Michael is extremely special—he has electric powers. Michael thinks he is unique until he discovers that a cheerleader named Taylor has the same mysterious powers. With the help of Michael’s friend, Ostin, the three of them set out to discover how Michael and Taylor ended up with their abilities, and their investigation soon brings them to the attention of a powerful group who wants to control the electric teens—and through them, the world.
(Summary taken from the book.)

Afterthoughts
I was drawn into this book very quickly and stayed interested through the end. The characters are well developed and, for science fiction, it was fairly believable. I really enjoyed Michael's character and identified with his desire to protect his family at all costs.
I didn't like the convenience that accompanied nearly every dangerous situation. Solutions and coincidences were abundant and the characters were able to escape from almost every danger, which diminished its believability. Other than that, it was a very enjoyable book.

Warnings
None.
