All of Henry Melton's books pick a common theme in science fiction and this is no different. It takes up the mad scientist theme and couples with Star Wars' "force." As always, really inventive. I loved it, and even, by the end, was sitting on the edge of my seat.
I have now started reading Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline. This is a well-researched novel. So far, I have met Molly, for all intents and purposes an orphan since she was young, is now 17 and has been stuck in the foster care system going from family to family for a very long time. Now, sentenced to community service for stealing a beat-up paperback copy of Jane Eyre from the library, she meets Vivian, a 91 year old woman whose attic Molly will be cleaning up. Both women have interesting/ tragic pasts.
