Book Review

I thought it was a perfect mixture of fantasy and adventure

I loved this book! It was AMAZING! I couldn’t put it down, as it captured me and really pulled me into the story.

I thought it was a perfect mixture of fantasy and adventure. It was smooth in the way that it went from an ordinary day to being very surreal, you were eased into it rather than going straight into the action, which made it more mysterious.

My favourite character was Jax, as he was unnoticed and not everyone took him seriously, sometimes his ideas are slightly out of this world! I thought he really shone through at the end and that’s why he is my favourite character. I liked all the other characters too though.

Jax and Trey (and the rest of the crew) have a normal life, go to school, go to street dancing club, go home, just a normal life. Well, then it gets weird, first it’s just Mr Crankshaw, but then the other teachers, then everyone else as well! Why were they acting like this? It’s up to the Fly High Crew to figure out and save the day!

I loved this book, that is why I give it A FIVE STAR REVIEW! I am pleased that there is another book coming out because I will definitely be reading it!

 

 

About the Book

This is the first book in a new action-packed, laugh-out-loud, high-energy series for boys and girls.

It features adults taken over by aliens and a brave group of kids who must work together as a team to stop them!

Brothers Trey and Jax spend after-school hours rehearsing with their street dance collective the Fly High Crew, until the evening they see a green beam of light flash out of the sky and are thrown into an out-of-this-world adventure!

Aliens have landed and are mind-controlling all the teachers and adults: can the Fly High Crew work together as a team and save the day?
