📖 Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25

Freshman year of high school can be tough, especially if you have Tourette's syndrome and mysterious electrical powers. Due to his ability to shock people, jump start his mother's car by simply holding the battery connectors, and knock down bullies, Michael Vey, a 14 year old boy, has recently moved to Idaho due to an incident in his former town. Keeping his powers a secret is essential, but he accidentally reveals them when trying to defend himself from Wade, the bully. However, he also learns that his crush, Taylor, also has electric abilities. Confused and intrigued, Michael reaches out to Ostin, his best friend and a child genius, and they find out a strange discovery at the hospital where Michael was born. A new medical machine known as the MEI had malfunctioned and only 17 children, called the Glows, had survived; this incident was covered by the public by the doctor, Dr Hatch, for a mysterious reason. Meanwhile, Michael's mom decides to take him out to a restaurant that night after being concerned that Taylor and he received scholarships from the mysterious Elgen Academy, but a group of teenagers, the most notable one called Nichelle, arrive and drain his powers. Michael wakes up discovering that his mom and Taylor have been kidnapped, and it could be due to Taylor's evil sister Tara. It turns out Taylor has been taken to Elgen Academy where she is treated highly by Dr Hatch, but it is all a fake setup. Therefore, when she tries to disobey Dr Hatch with her powers, she is drained by Nichelle and put to Floor D, the Purgatory. Michael tries his best to free Taylor, but he is kidnapped and put into a brutal torture cell, Cell 25. Later, Michael, Taylor, and Ostin are all placed together in Cell 25, due to their rebellions, to be killed by Zeus, but with Michael's absorption powers and Taylor's mind reading powers, they find that Dr. Hatch had tricked Zeus into thinking that they had killed his family. This causes Zeus to side with Michael and form the Electroclan to find and fight against Dr Hatch who had escaped the building with the other loyal glows. Reason for Recommendation: Evans, a New York Times bestselling author, delivers main characters Taylor with intelligence and popularity and Michael with an emotional backstory. The characterization of the protagonists truly brings a whole different dimension to the fast-paced science fiction, and if you enjoy the strange electric powers combined with a riveting mission, the Michael Vey series is perfect.

高中一年级的生活可能很艰难,尤其是对于患有图雷特综合征和拥有神秘电能的孩子来说。14岁的迈克尔·维伊拥有一些超能力:例如能电击他人、只需握住电池连接器就能启动母亲的汽车、还有击倒欺凌者。由于之前居住的小镇发生了一起事件,他最近搬到了爱达荷州。虽然迈克尔一直想要保守有关自己的超能力的秘密,但在试图保护自己免受韦德的霸凌时,他意外地暴露了自己的能力。同时,迈克尔发现自己暗恋的女孩泰勒也拥神秘电能。既困惑又好奇的迈克尔向他的好朋友、天才儿童奥斯汀求助,两人却在迈克尔出生的医院发现了一件怪事:一种名为MEI的新型医疗设备发生故障,只有17名被称为"发光者"的孩子幸存下来了;出于某种神秘的原因,医生哈奇博士却对此事秘而不宣。 与此同时,迈克尔的母亲知道他和泰勒获得了神秘的埃尔根学院的奖学金,决定带他去餐厅吃饭。当晚,一群青少年(其中最引人注目的是尼谢尔)突然出现并吸走了迈克尔的超能力。迈克尔醒来后发现自己的母亲和泰勒被绑架了,而这很可能是泰勒邪恶的妹妹塔拉所为。被绑架的泰勒则被带到了埃尔根学院,在那里她受到了哈奇博士的优待,不过很快她发现这其实是一个骗局。因此,当泰勒试图用自己的超能力违抗哈奇博士时,她被尼谢尔吸走了超能力,并被送往了D层炼狱。迈克尔竭尽全力想要营救泰勒,但他自己却被绑架并关进了残酷的刑讯室——25号牢房。一心反抗的迈克尔、泰勒和奥斯汀都被关进了25号牢房,即将被宙斯处死。迈克尔凭借自己的超能力和泰勒的读心术发现哈奇博士欺骗了宙斯,让他以为是这班孩子们杀死了他的家人。最终,宙斯与迈克尔联手,组建了电能军团,寻找并对抗正带着其他忠诚的"发光者"(电能者)逃离的哈奇博士。 推荐理由:畅销书作家埃文斯笔下的两位主角——泰勒聪明睿智、人缘极佳,而迈克尔则有着一段感人至深的过往。两位主角为这部节奏紧凑的科幻小说增添了全新的维度。如果你喜欢奇异电能和扣人心弦的任务,《迈克尔·维伊》系列绝对是最佳选择。
