YA
In this sequel to The Roar, mutant twins Mika and Ellie use their psychic powers to unite a child army created by a manipulative tyrant and stop their government from destroying the world's remaining forests. The child army (trained by a video game battle school) and the twins' mutant superpowers evoke both Ender's Game and X-Men in this suspenseful, well-paced dystopian novel.
