Publisher Description

In the not-too-distant future, in a place call Satellite City, thirteen-year-old Cosmo Hill is unfortunate enough to come into the world unwanted by his parents. And so, as are all orphaned boys his age, Cosmo is dipped in a vaccine vat and sent to the Clarissa Frayne Institute for Parentally Challenges Boys. But when Cosmo attempts to escape, he finds himself caught in a web far worse that he could have ever imagined, embroiled with private police, illegal racing gangs, and a corporation cover-up, until he discovers a horrifying secret that will force him to question everything he knows and everything he believes in.

"I had wanted to read more science fiction this year and this is a recommendation from my fifth graders helping me to achieve my goal. So glad I got my hands on this action-packed adventure! Science fiction will still not become a favorite genre of mine but reading this title has shown me that there is much to gain from including science fiction in my selection from time to time. The science stuff in the story is totally intriguing and I guess that's what makes a really good science fiction: the science has to be believable enough to convince the reader that it could be happening one day. So, yes, I enjoyed going on this adventure with Cosmo Hill and his new-found friends, each one of them an interesting character on a quest to save the world while dealing with his/her own past. As always, Eoin Colfer has done a fabulous job in keeping the reader hooked with several unexpected twists and turns to the story. - However, here is one downside to the book, fortunately one you can avoid: the blurb gives away far too much. It's almost a summary and I would have found it very annoying to read before getting started with the book. Fortunately, several of my fifth graders had recommended it so highly that I hadn't even bothered to look at the blurb. Thanks guys, that was a great recommendation!"

    " It was the first Eoin Colfer book that I had read besides the Artemis Fowl series. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was almost as good as Artemis Fowl. I really enjoyed this book. "

    " Eoin Colfer is a great writer. This is the first book of his that I read which wasn't an Artemis Fowl. It shows how good a writer Colfer is. He can write about stuff aside from Pre-Teen Criminal Masterminds. It's an excellent book which every teen should read! "

    " Not liking this one as much as Airman, BUT Colfer has this gift...Just at the moment you think you've figured out where the plot is going, BAM, he turns it around and twists everything up. In a positive way. "

    " We listened to this on the way to California for Thanksgiving. I'm not sure I would have finished it if I'd been reading it on my own. I really liked the reader and the different voices he used, but the story itself was only so-so for me. "

    " Eoin Colfer can do dystopia too, even if it does have a few tastes of Artemis Fowl. I liked that things weren't what they seemed in this book, the characters were interesting, and the dystopian world was perfectly screwed up. "
