Talk about a good sci-fi book. I enjoyed reading this tale. It has great characters, story line, plot, and flow of the book. This book has character with super natural powers, shadow agency's, conspiracy, and technology. A must read for any and all book lovers everywhere.Edgewood, the first book in the Edgewood Series by Karen McQuestion, features 15 year old Russ Becker who has a very hard time falling asleep. He often goes for a walk around town late at night and it's during one of those walks that he witnesses a series of fast moving lights in the sky that fall to the ground in a spiral of blue and gold embers. Shortly after this phenomenon, Russ realizes that he has supernatural powers and discovers he's not the only one who's been affected by the lights.
Disclaimer: I won this in the GoodReads First Readers giveaway!Russ Becker is not your typical teenage boy -- and that's before he acquires superpowers after being exposed to a cosmic shower. It's easy to see that a woman wrote this, because Russ is a perfectly-behaved 15-year-old. This is not a slam, merely an amusing observation! For a few months now, Russ has been plagued by insomnia; and the only way he can get any sleep is to wander the streets of Edgewood at night. He learns the habits of

He suffers from insomnia, and cannot sleep until he has a midnight walk. Then one time, he sees something. It's calling to him. So he investigates...Russ sees something miraculous. But it leaves side effects, and he isn't the only one who knows about it. Three other teenagers have also experienced it, hopefully they will have all the answers, but maybe they
I probably did this no favours by starting reading it in very small installments, as this didn't encourage being grabbed by the plot, and did encourage being bounced out by the less than smooth prose and typos. The story itself was fine, but there were just too many clunky lines to feel it was adequately finished. Just a few examples that are fairly typical. The protag, Russ, has taken his nephew to a comic bookshop, and is describing what it's like, including two "teenage girls" swaying to the
I am a senior citizen, but I really enjoyed this book which grabbed me from the get-go, and thoroughly kept my interest. I especially liked that it didn't have all the violence that was in the Divergent series, which was an element that bothered me about a series involving teens, and why I refuse to read the Hunger Games series[adults forcing kids to fight to the death, no thanks!].I am really emotionally invested in these kids and can't wait to read the next two books in the series~ Wanderlust
Pretty good, a lil on the cheesy side but I did enjoy this. I am very interested in reading more of this series.
