This is the 3rd week of a 5-6 week series where I share the BEST Middle Grade/Teen Fiction books that I've read the last 5 years or so. When I started blogging over on Classic Children's Books I really had no intention of reading & review Middle Grade fiction (to be honest I had never heard the term) but I have found this genre to be interesting, captivating and sometimes nail biting.
Swipe (Series)
by Evan Angler
ISBN: 9781400318360
$8.99 (paperback)
$1.99 (kindle)
"Apocalyptic dystopian fiction at it's best. Angler's sharp wit & dexterity with political themes are matched only by the thrilling suspense on every page." ~ Liz Wiehl, New York Times, best selling author & FOX News correspondent
You can read my original review & watch the trailer HERE
I had forgotten about this book until I was scrolling through all the reviews. I was going to do the books that have stuck in my head over the years and when I stumbled over this one I had to go watch the trailer again and read my review and I could immediately feel my mind perk up and my interest peaked.
I haven't read to many books that fit in the "dystopian" genre and I had to go look up the definition of the word "dystopia":
If you have a kid who loves scary movies (I avoid them with a passion after the movie I watched in church), who loves the RUSH of adrenaline and perhaps is a reluctant reader - they just might like this book and the series it's part of.
Do you have any other books in the dystopia genre that you or your kids have read? What did you like about them?
