Kylee P. (Kylee-CT-mom) -
âThe Prometheus Project: Trappedâ by Douglas E. Richards is geared toward middle graders. Obviously, at 32, I'm a little outside that age group, but as a mom of two I think that I can âread like a child' (if that makes sense).
In âTrappedâ Ryan and Regan Resnick are forced by their parents to move to Beaverton, PA, âthe middle of nowhere' according to the children. After 6 weeks of boredom the kids are ready for adventure and boy do they find it! I don't want to give away too much, but these kids get into (and cleverly out of) some trouble. The great thing (in my opinion) is the science back in science fiction.
Mr. Richards has a master's degree in genetic engineering (and business). He is the father of two and wrote Trapped, as well as its sequel Captured, for his children after being unable to find an engaging sci-fi series for this age group.
I highly recommend this book for all middle school libraries. If you have a middle schooler that is into science or sci-fi, buy this book. If you have a reluctant reader who has an interest in science or adventure stories, buy this book.
Mr. Richards is currently working on an adult thriller and another kid's thriller not set in the Prometheus Project universe. He hopes to write additional Prometheus Project books in the future as well.
