Review: Six children survived a potentially lethal virus attack on earth and developed superpowers as a result. Many adults wished to harness these powers for their own benefit but in order to do so had to capture or befriend the children. The adults that tried various tactics ranged from government officials, a Russian billionaire and a mad general. In a desperate attempt to keep all the children safe one of the strongest characters, Sarah takes on the role of mother and minder. The children are lured into a false sense of security for a while but Sarah’s alertness and her ability to judge the various characters result in their powers being pitted against their very strong adversary, whose robots ( dogs)are deadly. Good however triumphs over evil with the help of a minor and his lovable robot. This novel was exciting and remained so throughout. It strong characters were of both genders which give it a wide appeal. The author had the ability to give some of the robots human qualities which was quite endearing.
This is not normally my choice of book but it was a great story line, plenty of action with the sci-fi input of the super powers.
I won this book from Usborne thank you very much.
