It’s
a futuristic world and Ethan (E-Boy), Penny (an artificial intelligent robotics
scientist) and Gemini (Penny’s AI robot creation) need to evade Agent Ferris
and his army of androids to find and protect the Grapes of Atlantis, a mythical
power source -- although, Penny knows the grapes are not a myth. She already
has possession of one grape, entrusted to her from her former oceanography
professor, and she’s used it to power Gemini. When Gemini, who is increasingly
taking on more human characteristics as he learns and adapts, taps into in his
internal power source, the precious grape powering him reveals the clue to the
location of the other 99 grapes. With E-Boy directing Gemini’s super physical
abilities through his own mental ability to tap into and control systems, along
with Penny’s wits, the trio race to stay ahead of their foe to prevent the
grapes from falling into the wrong hands.
E-Boy
is a fast-paced and easy-read chapter book interspersed with illustrations by
Marcelo Baez to bring Ethan, Penny, Gemini and their opposition to life,
well-suited for kids aged 8 plus. It’s the fifth book in the E-Boy series
which, on its own, provides enough context to understand the plot and leave you
waiting for the sixth book to find out what happens next. Fans will want to
read this series from start.
