Can they survive the sky-borne attack on the blockade? Whom can they trust? Who-or what-is SYLO? And who is fighting whom? MacHale knows boy readers and delivers, giving them an action-packed plot with a likable, Everykid protagonist and doling out answers with just the right amount of parsimony to keep the pages turning. Tucker and Tori need to get to the mainland to tell their story. There’s no communication from the mainland to the island and no way to get word of what’s happening out to the world. The country-club golf course has been converted into a military camp run by a division of the military they’ve never heard of: SYLO. ![]() The girl he wants to get to know a whole lot better, Tori, is captured along with Tucker and imprisoned behind barbed wire.

He likes life on tiny, fictional Pemberwick Island, Maine, and hopes to take over his father’s landscaping business eventually. While his friends talk about going out into the world and doing great things, he prefers to dream small. But it is what it and there isn't anything I can do about it.This riveting novel starts with a question: How safe is it to remain uninvolved?Īt 14, Tucker Pierce is all about fitting in and going with the flow. There is more things I could say about this book, I just don't have enough time to write them all. Horrible pacing, bad characters, and mistakes. There is really very few good things to say about this book. Also, he put "fight back" as "fightback". For instance on page 223 MacHale put, "Well when you put it that way, , ," He had put commas instead of periods. In addition there was also some mistakes I noticed.

Then they're at the festival when the next death occurs then SYLO comes in at that very instant. It starts off with a couple major things happening like the first death and the explosion then nothing else happens for a while. You discovered more about her throughout the story, just not everything. She started off like she didn't care about anyone, but you later dicovered that she did care about her father, he was the one person she loved untill he died. Tori, though, was that character you knew very little about so that made her interesting. ![]() The only reason I liked these two characters was because they were funny and knew how to "push buttons". There were only a couple good characters in this story. Where do I begin? I can count the number of good things I have to say on one hand.
