Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25 by Richard Paul Evans








Michael Vey knew he was different.  He was always teased and made fun of for his small size and the way he blinked his eyes when he was nervous.  Michael had Tourettes Syndrome.  That wasn't the only thing that set him apart, though.  Michael also had special powers - a unusual but powerful gift that he had to keep hidden from others.  


Michael tries to keep his power a secret until he finally breaks and just can't stand the abuse anymore.  After yet another beating by Jake and Wade, the school bullies, Michael unleashes a powerful electric shock at his tormentors.  Leaving them stunned and helpless as they lie on the ground in the front of their high school, Michael's hands release strong electrical currents throughout their bodies like a tazer.  Michael knew they would never bother him or beat him up again.


Michael wasn't alone with this happened.  Taylor, the impossibly beautiful and popular high school cheerleader, sees what happens.  Suddenly she wants to be Michael's friend.  She, too, has a secret.  


Both Taylor and Michael have secret powers which set them apart from the other teens.  Together, they soon discover that they are part of an elite group of 17.  Seventeen teens who have unique abilities which give them the power to both save and destroy.  

Tayor and Michael are being hunted.  Someone knows about their talents.  He won't stop until he captures them so he can ruthlessly use the electric teens in order to gain control - control of the 17 "Glows" and control of the entire world.


Nonstop action and excitement in this new series!

  3. I love this book... It is about a boy named Michael that has turrets and has a power that lets him shock people and he also has a blue glow. there are like a dozen kids like him but he only knows one and her name is Taylor. Taylor was the prettiest girl at school in his eyes and one day Taylor saw him shock 3 boys that was messing with him and she was shocked to see it but a few days later she invited him over to her house after school and they talked and she told and showed what she could do and he was shocked to know that they were alike. one day he met up with his best friend from school and Taylor and they made a group for kids like them but they were the only people who could know about it. I few weeks later they were supposed to meet up again and at Michael's house but Taylor had been kidnapped and no one could find her but later that night they took his mom... Read to find out more.

  7. This book to me, is very good. It's about a 14 year od boy who is known as weak, small, and unpopular. But everybody at school don't know about his powers. Which he ueses them on two older boys when they bullied him. While they ere beating him up, Michael electricuted them. While he did this, a girlTaylor saw him. Further in the book they come together to try to find other kids with the same power. A character Mr. Htach comes into the book as a bad guy, he tries to capture all the elcetric kids and tak eover the world. But during the last part of the book, Micael and Taylor gets most of the electric kids to defeat Mr. Hatch , which they sucessfully did!

  9. This book was so good! I liked how all the drama and action falls into place. Michael Vey may be small and scrawny, but that boy is strong. He soon uses he powers on the bullies at school and then finds out he is not the only one who has these powers. Only his Mom and his best friend know about his power. But an evil man wants him to use his power for the wrong reason. Like I said before this is a great book. And i encourage evryone to read it.

  10. Micheal Vey is one of my favorite books now. It's about a boy that has turets and get made fun of, until one day, 3 kids were going to beat him up. Micheal shocked them and blew them back. He didn't know what he did but now he had people looking for him. His best friend is a geek named Ostin. He was so fascinated by Micheals powers and wanted to see how strong he really was. Ostin noticed that Micheal was getting stronger all the time. There were a lot of other people like him called "Glows". Of all the other "Glows" Micheal was by far the strongest, so that made a guy named Mr. Hatch, want to find him even more. Mr. Hatch was capturing all the Glows and trying to form an army to take over the world, until Micheal came along, and destroyed Mr. Hatch's plans.+
