Once again the energy soars to full on the voltage meter in the 4th installment of Richard Paul Evans capitvating series Michael Vey 4: Hunt for Jade Dragon.Michael Vey and his friends have returned to the states. The trauma and triumph of Peru have taken their toll on all of them. Some have come back to happy reunions while others still mourn what they have lost. The group is informed about their next mission: to save the one called Jade Dragon. She holds valuable information and if it falls in the wrong hands could be globally catastrophic. The girl is an autistic savant with an incredible IQ. She is also deaf and mute which makes retrieving the information next to impossible. Or is it? The Electroclan must travel to Taiwan, and much to their dismay, have to bring along a surprising old acquaintance. Dr. Hatch and The Elgen have become more formidable than anyone could have imagined. Tensions are at all-time high as these teens face their toughest challenge yet.Kids and adults will enjoy the spark filled action in this book. It is well written and the attention to details is amazing. One of the things I really appreciate about this series is that it uses the right amount of challenging vocabulary and engaging geography to keep readers of any age riveted. The positive role models are refreshing and serve to show that anyone can be a hero by the choices they make. I totally recommend this book and the entire series. Well done RPE! Zappy Reading!!
I've been reading this series loyally. I loved the first two books, but I have to admit I'm getting more frustrated with each book. How many times can these kids get captured and escape? This book didn't deliver anything I'd hoped for. Given the lead from the third book, and the title of this one, I expected a lot more story surrounding the Jade Dragon, but it felt more like she was only partially thought through, and barely acknowledged, just to justify title. The entire book felt repetitious. It dragged on and on only to end with yet another cliffhanger that felt contrived to sell more books. I honestly felt cheated. I won't be preordering the next book. I will be waiting to see reviews before I decide whether to read it at all.
Bought Richard Evens Newest Book for my grandson. He got me started on this series and I had thought it was only for teens.
Hunt for Jade Dragon is the fourth in the Michael Vey series by Richard Paul Evans. In this one, the Electroclan gets a well-deserved break at a ranch somewhere in the southwestern US or Mexico as they train and plan for their trip to Taiwan to save the little girl known as Jade Dragon. They pick up an unlikely ally on the way to Taiwan and then spend lots of time waiting, eating odd foods, and trying to sleep (I’m pretty sure in the first 72 hours in Taiwan Michael got less than 2 hours of sleep while Ostin slept 60 of those hours). Eventually Taylor convinces everyone to make an incredibly bad decision that leads to non-stop action for the last third of the book.Hunt for Jade Dragon is the best Michael Vey book yet. The electric kids (good and bad) are getting better with their powers, but the Elgen is getting better at dealing with them, too. The scenes with Taylor and Jade Dragon were incredibly sweet. The end of the book is satisfying, but the cliffhanger did make me wish it was the fall of 2015 and the next book was out (or, even better, 2017 and all 7 books were out!). The only problem I had with this one is, like the other Michael Vey books, it was a bit stressful to read. I really care about these characters now and don’t want bad things to happen to them. I was constantly questioning who was right (including, possibly, the Elgen) and where people’s loyalties really were. By the halfway point I seriously could not put it down!
I again loved this book I love the series. However this is my least favorite of all. I think there was to many parts to stay into the book. I'm going to have to read it again just to understand all of it. I do love this book and can't wait until the next one.
In the fourth(but not last) book in the electrifying series, Michael Vey and the Electroclan fly to China to rescue Jade Dragon, an autistic, deaf, and mute child with an IQ higher than Albert Einstein's (and Ostin's). She has found the formula to create more electric children, and now Hatch has captured her, inprisoning her in a base that was inescapable BEFORE Hatch added his own additions: a few electric children and another army. YAY! Richard Paul Evans weaves an action packed story and a romance tale together as Michael takes Taylor to a tear-jerking prom and watches his best friend Ostin cause Hatch to blow up his own ships. Suspence, dismay, and action are blended together for his fantastic novel. Next time, I want to hear more about little Jade Dragon. I LOVE her!!! And I want some more drama and sacrifice. Thank you so much Richard Paul Evans!!! -Ashley Fujiyama A fellow NCS 6th grader
After reading the visible reviews, I was a bit gun shy to read this book. Then I took the time to read the "other" reviews and wondered why those two were featured. So, the story didn't end the way those readers wanted it to end. But this is a series and books and movies in series often end with cliffhangers. I can't wait to read the next one and how many more will there be in the series? Do the Elgen ever bite the dust? Does HRH Hatch ever run out of people to stomp on and destroy? Will no one ever stand up to him with finality? The next installment will answer some questions....
