Dangerous

Shannon Hale's new book 'Dangerous' has just been released a few weeks ago, and let me tell ya, it was amazing! (As all of her books are) This was not like anything she has ever written before though. To me it was 'The Fantastic Four' meets 'Ender's Game' meets 'The Host'. It was very sci-fi with some action/adventure and a love story on the side. It was a page turner for me, a book that I had a hard time putting down. She really is such an amazing author, oh wait, have I said that before? ;)

'Dangerous' is the story of Maisie Brown who is home-schooled by her scientist parents because she was bullied at school for only having one arm. Maisie has an obsession with outer space and dreams of one day becoming an astronaut. Her parents worry that this dream is unrealistic because of her missing limb, but when Maisie wins a free trip to space camp for kids they are supportive and let her go. However, space camp wasn't exactly what Maisie signed up for. Things happen that she could have never predicted and she meets people who will change her life forever.
