Have just read it and it is a great summer read. Love the action. It’s a sumer of action with Avatar at the movies too.
BTW – Anthony will also be in Melbourne on Mon May 24: 10-11 am & 12-1pm courtesy of Centre for Youth Literature. Looks like a sickie for me!

You’ve read all the Matthew Reilly. You’re 14. You want books with action. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your comments on this post. Great to see some debate on what you like and don’t. I guess my Zac Power comment was probably more about the ability to entice reluctant readers than about tone. If anybody else has feelings on Battle Boy, I’d love you to leave a comment. Tristan.

Hmmm… am a little concerned about the violence in this book, Tristan. The beauty of books like Zac Power is that there isn’t any clear and present danger. Would think twice before getting my students on to this…

Comment on What are you reading? by Fiona

I’ve currently been reading the book “Death Ray” which is part of the special operations series. The protagonist in the story is a Norwegian teenager by the name of Finn Gunnerson. His accomplices are Loki and Freya who are secret agents in WWII. The cover is very interesting and the writing style is better than books I’ve read. The plot reminds me of Going Solo written by Roald Dahl. Very interesting.
