Midnighters 1 The Secret Hour

Here is my book review about midnighters 1 the secret hour by scott westerfeld (i will actually write this one unlike my da vinci code review)

Not last week but the week before on thursday i started to read a book called midnighters 1 the secret hour and it was such a good book i finished it on saturday (it has 383 pages). Heres the blurb:

strange things happen at midnight in the town of Bixby, Oklahoma.
time freezes. nobody moves.

For one secret hour each night, the town belongs to the dark creatures that haunt the shadows. Only a small group of teenagers know about the secret hour-only they are free to move about the midnight time.
They call themselves Midnighters.
Then Jessica Day moves to town. . . and everything changes.


The background of the story is that in the town of Bixby in Oklahoma there is a secret hour that only a very few people that are born at the exact time of midnight can access and get special powers during it. The storyline of the book is about a girl called Jessica Day who just happens to have been born at midnight and moves to bixby then meets with four other people who were also born at midnight and they call themselves midnighters and her quest to find out her power and why she is being attacked by darklings. The other four are Rex who is able see midnight stuff that other people cant and he needs galsses in real time but not in the secret hour, Dez who is a polymath which is like a genius with math and words pretty much, Melissa who is a sort of physcic that can taste thoughts and cant touch anyone, and Jonathon who is an acrobat which means his body weight changes during the secret hour so it isnt affected by gravity but not enough that he floats into space.

I really realy enjoyed this book and highly recommend it and cant wait to get the next two in the series from the library.
