I've been putting this book off because of the cover--it looks like some slasher R.L. Stine novel, doesn't it? But I was actually impressed. It's like an action videogame and I didn't get bored at all. A horrible plague of something like the flu is affecting all the adults in the world and some kids have to save it. Some of the kids are super-human--one has telekinesis, one is super-strong, one can set things on fire, and one is just a normal kid thug. They must stop the super-villains who are trying to awaken the Fifth King, who is an ancient god/king of Assyria. The kids, of course, save the world. Give this to kids (middle grades to high school) who like action, adventure, comics, hero stories or gaming.
