YA
With Michael missing, the Electroclan and the Indigenous Tuvaluans prepare for the final battle, but Hatch's forces are ready and closing in on the Electroclan's leader. The novel starts slowly and focuses on new characters instead of the established large cast. Despite a rushed ending, longtime fans will still enjoy seeing who makes it out.

YA
Michael and the Electroclan have a crazy plan to defeat Hatch by stealing the boat that acts as his floating bank. The odds are long, but it's their only hope. Though there is plenty of drama in this sixth story, it all resolves too quickly for tension to build. Short chapters keep things moving briskly and maintain focus on the action.

YA
After surviving in the Amazon jungle and reuniting, Michael and the Electroclan continue the fight against Hatch. They must now rescue a savant Taiwanese girl who may hold the key to their powers, but the task requires joining forces with a former enemy. Though this fourth story builds slowly, the time spent developing characters will ultimately deepen fans' engagement with the exciting series.
