Daniel X: Watch the Skies

Daniel X: Watch the Skies
By James Patterson
Little, Brown, and Co., 2009. 251 pgs. Young Adult

In this second installment of the Daniel X series, Daniel is working his way up the aliens most wanted list. This time Daniel’s target is alien number 5 who has invaded the sleepy town of Holliswood. The aliens mission is to direct the best season of “Endertainment” that is broadcasted intergalactically. His show consists of controlling the humans through their electronics making them dance till the show stopper finale- death. It’s up to Daniel and his friends to use their extraordinary powers to save the world.

This is an action packed adventure that never lets up and is filled with sarcastic humor that I love. The short chapters make it great for reluctant readers.
