Review

Teenager Ethan is sick of hospitals - and it’s no wonder given he is about to have his fourteenth operation in the last eighteen months. But with the brilliant android Gemini performing the operation on his brain tumour, what could possibly go wrong? Lightning, that’s what!


A huge jolt makes Ethan able to telepathically control anything electronic. I mean, Ethan was great on computers before, but this is totally next level. But trouble is brewing and Ethan is going to need all his new found skills...


E-Boy is a fantastic read and will appeal to both primary aged readers, as well as more reluctant secondary readers, who will all be eagerly awaiting Book 2.


It is fast-paced, action-packed, and is such a great ‘good versus evil’ novel full of courage and adventure and technology.
