Summary & Review:
Will West has led an isolated, nomadic life with his parents who have always encouraged him to keep a low profile and not draw any attention to himself. But, when Will makes an unheard of perfect score on a national scholastic exam, people take notice. Along with an exclusive prep school who offers him a full scholarship, a group of shadowy men notice Will’s results and will stop at nothing to get him. As Will flees for his life to take shelter at the new school, he realizes there is a cosmic battle of good and evil waging over the fate of humankind and he has unique supernatural abilities that will help him in this fight.
This was another young adult-ish fantasy adventure like The Lost Gate (#429) that I just read, and both books even had characters with directions for surnames (Danny North and Will West). Funny. While Card’s world was more thoroughly developed, in my opinion, Frost’s book was more fun. Even though this plot was a little…cheesy? outlandish?...I enjoyed the story and, like The Lost Gate, I plan on reading the next book in the series. If I were 12 or 13, this probably would have been my new favorite book.
Rating: 6.5
