Reader voices

The most-liked reviews on Hardcover (credited to their authors).

  • “Beneath the surface of this story, the author seems to be saying that One World Government is a desirable thing. Another message from this book is that the established governments and corporations are corrupt, things can only be accomplished by breaking the rules and being young enough to think differently.”

    ★ 3/5Gregg on Hardcover

  • “Somehow this one did not spark my interest as much as the rest of the series. It had action, betrayal, difficult family relations and unbelievably clever children, but just a bit odd.”
