The Rescue

So far Nico has been my favourite character or viewpoint, but I think Ed, the narrator of The Rescue, would come a close second. His power - the ability to read minds - is one of the more interesting Medusa gene mutations, just like Nico's telekinesis. Ed is the most vulnerable member of the group, he's compassionate and thoughtful, and I think his personality made for a different reading experience. I feel like I really got to know him, and in turn enjoyed his story more. Where I think McKenzie's strength lies is in her plotting. She's all about the action and adventure, which makes The Medusa Project series perfect for readers who are looking for non-stop excitement and edge-of-your-seat tension. I think boys especially would get something out of these books, as they're in reminiscent of Stormbreaker or Young Bond.
