No genre trope is left in the basket, making the result more a crazy quilt than a free-standing series opener. This admixture of suspicious deaths, ghosts, shifting realities, weird science, teen issues, family issues, secret organizations and unexplained events in a British town will all, no doubt, come clear in future episodes. After this remarkable occurrence, he is forcibly inducted into a group called UNexplained Incidents, Cryptic Occurrences, Relative Nontemporal Events by the sinister, inhumanly strong Amadeus Klimt and his hot, surly, butt-kicking assistant Chantelle. He also chucks in strange revelations about their long-missing father, a luridly icky science lab scene, dragons, unicorns, UFOs possibly , a melodramatic climax featuring literal cliffhanging and several encounters with dead teens.

I am already looking forward to the second book. When Michael Malone saves a dog, he discovers that he has paranormal abilities, which bring him to the attention of a secret organization, UNICORNE--but he plans to use the ability to find out what happened to his father, who mysteriously vanished three years earlier, and save his new friend, Freya. They claim that his father worked for them and he can hopefully find his father. All of its offspring were given the names of different Native American tribes, which is where the title of the book comes from. You could never figure out what was coming up next, and I loved that. Although writing is now his main source of income, he still works at the university as the operator of the confocal microscope. On Shelf. AJ Perez. Setting the scenes by painting pictures with words had this reader envisioning jagged cliffs, hearing the loud crashes of a churning, belligerent sea pounding against unforgiving rocks. The only thing I can figure is that something he was considering during that final confrontation ended up becoming an additional side effect. I definetely did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did. So this was our new trilogy after finishing Harry Potter in the summer.

In more ways than one. Paula Howard. But it is a great book overall. Michael Malone is just trying to get to school when he encounters a dog in distress. Adventure fiction. It's beautifully written. Let's hope my library gets the next volume. Chantelle and Klimt were pretty useless when it came down to it.
