"Michael Vey" Is Off To A 'Shocking' Start!

I know that "Michael Vey" is intended for audiences ages 12 & up, but because it was written by my favorite author, Richard Paul Evans, I couldn't resist the urge to check it out! I'm glad I did! I already read the first 7 chapters. I can kind of relate to Michael in a way. Though I do not have Tourette's Syndrome as he does, I was picked on throughout most of my grade school career. Kids can be so cruel! I'm glad that he has friends like Ostin Liss and Taylor Ridley (whom Michael has a secret crush on) who know what Michael is going through, because sometimes, as Will Smith put it, "Parents just don't understand!" Then again, neither do principals, according to Michael. He loathes his principal, Mr. Dallstrom. I can understand why, after reading about how he reacted to the news that Michael was stuffed into a locker by his peers (I didn't say friends) because they thought that he had snitched on them! Mr. Dallstrom actually blamed Michael, saying that he "should have resisted" and then sentenced him to after-school detention...Ugh! How unfair is that? At least Michael was able to get even by using his powers of electricity to stop Jack, Mitchell, and Wade (the bullies) from picking on him! Oddly, it was his electrical powers that helped him get closer to Taylor, who admitted to having similar powers! I wonder what will happen next? Only one way to find out! How? By continuing the electrifying journey through "Michael Vey!"
