Something new for me! A while back I joined the MotherTalk network, and was recently asked to review Daniel X - Watch the Skies by James Patterson & Ned Rust.
I have to say that action/alien adventures are not usually my first pick in leisure reading - but this book is fun! It is geared for teen boys that haven't found a book to hold their interest - and I imagine it would. Written in the first person you get a sense that you are there with the characters and in on the secret. Who doesn't love to be in "the know?"
Young Daniel is himself an alien and busy fighting his nemesis, Number 5, in a sleepy US town. Daniel is likable and surrounds himself with his materialized, imaginary friends, to help outsmart Number 5. While Number 5 is busy recording reality tv shows, and interfering with normal life. The book is very imaginative and full of adventure!
In the end, this is a fun book and quick read! I would like to giveaway my copy - just leave a comment and I will select a winner Tuesday evening :)

Interesting give away. I love reading all types of books and you made this one sound worthy of whiling away an afternoon with!
Always looking for a good read, quick seems to be the way to go these days. I think that it would be one that my son may also be interested in, thanks for the chance to win a copy!
My 14 year old son is an avid reader but not come across this one. Always good to find a different author for him to try
Thanks

My 14 yo son is reading Maximum Ride by the same author and has really enjoyed them. Thanks for letting us know about this one...keeping my fingers crossed!
I just discovered James Patterson this summer and would love to read another by him.
Your blog is so inspiring to me!
Hi Amy, this sounds like an interesting read! My son would be hovering around waiting for me to finish...he loves anything alien! :) Thanks for the giveaway!
