To everyone at Meridian High School, fourteen-year-old Michael Vey is nothing special, just the kid who has Tourette’s syndrome. But in truth, Michael is extremely special—he has electric powers. Michael thinks he is unique until he discovers that a cheerleader named Taylor has the same mysterious powers. With the help of Michael’s friend, Ostin, the three of them set out to discover how Michael and Taylor ended up with their abilities, and their investigation soon brings them to the attention of a powerful group who wants to control the electric teens—and through them, the world.

Michael Vey is the first title in Glenn Beck’s Mercury Ink publishing program.

Ratings and reviews

I cant stress enough about how amazing this book series is. I highly suggest you purchase the whole thing especially sence the last one, book seven is a masterpiece and truly sums up the whole incredible story very well, unlike many series out there that have a week ending. This series keeps you glued to it with woderfull ups and downs, along with great developing plot lines and well done love intrests. The villain is truley hatable yet likeable and the main characters are extremely well done.

a very well written book and very interesting no matter how old you are. great book to use for a class that may not have strong readers as well.

I read part of this book in a group of 4 who were all girls and I got so lost in the book and got worried when Michael Vey and the bullies fighted. I thought he would die! I adore this book but I didn't finish it. Thank you Richard Paul Evans for creating the Michael Vey series😀
