Colt is the youngest son in a family full of brothers. He is the smallest, but has the wit and personality to stand out above the crowd. Colt doesn’t know it, but his is entire world is shrouded in mystery and lies. The wool is pulled from his eyes when his parents are killed in a tragic accident and he is sent to live in a new state with his grandfather. Colt learns quickly that the world around him is not what it seems and he is pulled into action with his friends Oz & Dani to solve a mystery and save lives. There wasn’t anything wrong with this novel, other than the fact that it just couldn’t keep my attention. It was a fun read with a lot of classic-style comic book references, aliens and real superheroes. It was well written and pretty quickly paced; very dense with action. There were robots, aliens, mind control, secret government agencies and teens saving the world. Along with all of the non-stop action (literally – I am pretty sure this kid never had a chance to sleep!) there were tragic events and heartfelt conversations that held strong emotional pulls and helped you connect with Colt. Colt himself was a good lead character, an all around great guy that you were rooting for the entire novel. Although I feel kind of apathetic about this novel, it was good and I would recommend it for younger teens who love sci-fi, video games and comics. I might have loved this book at their age, but it just didn’t keep me hooked as well at this time. Invasion was an enjoyable, fast paced start to a new series that I feel a lot of people will like.
