Children of Angels: Book One of the New Nephilim Series grabs the reader's attention quickly by jumping right into the action from page one. This may be a book for youth, but I was totally drawn into the story line.
Jeremy is a young man, in seventh grade, who is the target of the school bully. That's a normal enough for a teen book; but, what is not normal is how he responds one day to the bully. In the middle of the confrontation, there is a flash of light. His light.
Suddenly, everybody knows. That leads to an unusual opportunity to go to a private boarding school for kids that can fly. Things get weird and weirder from there as Jeremy finds that he can do things that even the other kids cannot do. Like in any good teen book, there's someone with a sinister plan and several somethings to battle.
I had to tell my 13 year old son over and over that I get to read this book first! I told him that it's becauses it's a review book; but, the truth is, I preread anything in this genre that the kids read. Although the book has some initial parallels with a popular book series featuring halfbloods and mythical creatures, it takes a different direction than I initially expected. It is a good fantasy book. I did emphasize to my children that it is a made up fantasy story.
My 15 year old just read the book in a couple of days. She wouldn't put it down. She read in bed, in the car, at the table (I made her put it down), in a chair, everywhere she went. As soon as she was done, my 13 year old snatched it up. Same story. I'm sure that when my 10 year old is a little older, she will enjoy it as well.
I think this book would be fine for kids 12 and up. Some discussion of what is truth and what is fiction with your child may necessitate pre-reading by the parent.
Thank you Litfuse for this review book.
