The premise for this book sounded pretty interesting, but it didn’t take long for me to realize it was majorly geared for middle grade readers. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as I have read many middle school books and recommended them to students. But just like any other genre or age-related group for books, there is superb writing and average writing. I give the author kudos for writing a book with a decent plot line. However, this book jumps around so, so much. The storyline feels very disjointed. One minute, the world is ending, and the main characters are fighting for their lives, the next, they’re getting ready for a dance. I feel like this is done to keep young readers interested, which is fine, but continuity is a good thing.
I know there are several other books in this series, but I won’t be continuing. I do appreciate the opportunity to read the ARC.

I am mixed on this one. I enjoyed it but I think it mainly helped that the chapters were short to help it feel like the flow was quicker than it was. I think it is a good book for the age group it is meant for.

Invasion by Jon S. Lewis is a sci-fi adventure novel for reluctant readers. With short chapters (57 of them) it can provide reading success fairly quickly. Much like the movie Men in Black, this novel has strong character and world building. However, in this case your memory of a great book will not be erased when you are done. Enjoy.

This was a very entertaining book about aliens and mystery and I found myself drawn into the story and ready to be part of this adventure. The suspense was great and the action was fast paced; I also liked the writing, as it was engaging even though it felt like it was intended for a much younger audience.

There's a pretty great cast of characters.
It's been a while since I read it, but I do remember liking Colt, the main character, as he is quite relatable based on his age and his actions. I also liked Danielle, as she was smart and could hold her own, though my favourite would probably be Oz, as he make me laugh so much.

The twists were entertaining and the unique creatures made for a very interesting and creative book. The overall premise was interesting, and it does make for an interesting read that somehow played out like a movie in my mind.
