Michael, Taylor, Ostin and the rest of the Electroclan head to China in search of a girl who may have discovered why Michael and his friends became electric. Her name is Lin Julung, or Jade Dragon, and she’s a child prodigy with an IQ higher than Einstein’s—and Ostin’s.
But Hatch gets to her first, and the Elgen are holding her prisoner in their Taiwan Starxource plant. Now the Voice wants Michael and the Electroclan to go to Taiwan and free her before Hatch can realize his dreams of an army of electric children.
The hunt for Jade Dragon is on, and it’s a race against time!

Another series that I have been able to enjoy along with my kids. The adventures of the Electroclan continue in this book, which takes place largely in Taiwan. As with the others, the ending leaves you waiting for the next book to come out. I’m not sure what I think about the author switching so much between first person and third person narratives, but I understand why it was needed. We’re all looking forward to the next book!
