By: Richard Paul Evans 4 Stars Genre: Fiction, Science-Fiction Dylan B 8th Grade “Michael Vey” is a book written by Richard Paul Evans about a small amount of children that have a special ability. These children have an extra large amount of electricity flowing through their veins. When Michael finds out about this, he is taken to a facility where he learns his and the other kids’ powers. He can electrocute other people, a kid named Zeus ( Pun heavily intended ) can throw lightning, and another can use electro-location to see through anything.
