Title: Fledgling Series: Jason Steed Author: Mark A. Cooper Perma-Bound Catalogue #: 48196 Description: Jason Steed, an eleven-year-old martial arts expert, is spending his summer training on a British Navy Frigate when rebel forces attack, and he must find the courage to rescue a special ops team and save the world from a nuclear war. Rubric Rating: Level 4: Love It! Why I Read It: I was looking for a good book to recommend for a boy. I didn't notice the profile picture of the boy doing martial arts in the corner of the cover. I just noticed the military symbols and thought it looked interesting. Lori's Notes: This was a really good read. The main character - Jason Steed - is amazing. As much a child prodigy as he is a precocious youth it's incredible how much he is able to accomplish. Like Robopocalypse this is a story that gives you a glimpse at the ending before starting back at the beginning. In this case, right back to Jason's birth. Jason
