The first in a thrilling, action-packed middle grade trilogy, which School Library Journal declared "will likely find the same wide appeal as Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson books.The Cloak Society: An elite organization of supervillains graced with extraordinary powers.

I was surprised when I started seeing themes of brainwashing and manipulation and the morality of killing your opponent in a middle grade superhero novel. The adults of The Cloak Society are out for revenge and domination and have turned their own children into weapons and sacrificial lambs. The children are brainwash into following Cloaks agenda. Those who are not powered are treated like second class citizens and basically slaves. The prejudice and elitism is discomforting to read. Alex, ourThis is one of those books that requires you to look into the plans you have for the coming couple of days because once you start, you won't be able to stop until you run out of pages. This is a great story. It asks you to look into the meaning of good and evil. Alex Knight is the villain that can't really reconsile himself with his evil ways. As part of a society of villains, he is forced to grapple with the fact that a part of him doesn't believe in the life he was born into no matter how well

He has been training his whole life to follow the footsteps of his parents to become one of the great villains in the world. On his first mission, instead of following it, he saves a girl named Kirbie who happens to be a Ranger. The Rangers of Justice were responsible for the Cloak
Content: c**p twice, some violence.
There were so many ways in which this book could have failed. Instead, it soared over cliches and expectations like Superman on meth! Starting this adventure, I thought it would be another cliche, by the numbers book. Or a tastefully done anti-hero-hero sort of thing. But instead it walks a tightrope of excellent writing and pacing that the story of a young man finding himself is retold in an engaging way, and even maybe, through fresh eyes. It is committed in the world that it builds and the
I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. The characters are believable and well written. The story progressed quickly and held my attention. It was a great YA story and I'm really looking forward to reading more of the series.
