I feel bad bringing down the super high rating on this one. It does deserve lots of stars as it so clearly delights kids. When was the last time you looked at reviews and found the majority written by grade school boys who described themselves as not liking books? Fledgling is the first installment in an initially self-published series. Jason Steed was born in Hong Kong in tragic circumstances: his mother dies during delivery. His British military dad is filled with grief and leaves the boy to
One of the best novels I have read. The story is original, fun, fast and emotional at times. The 'puppy dog' young love and humor came as a nice surprise, mostly because it's a boy's action book.Jason grows on you and becomes real, the author paints a picture with words, the action takes the reader to another level.My greatest part is when Jason is on the ship with the other Sea cadets, and they are given a training session on hand - hand combat by a bully drill instructor, I won't spoil the
I never read any books until my teacher recommended this for me, After the first page I was hoked n Jason Steed books and now I love spy books, Alex Rider, CHERUB, Artemus Fowl, Jason Steed comes top of the list. The story is very real life, the story grows on you. I would recommend for boy 10-14 if you are like me and don't like to read books this is a good start, my grades have gone up in English to.
Wong Tong had always taught him to use the element of surprise. Surprise even yourself, he had said. Its the best weapon you will ever have.This book is my biggest surprise and find on goodreads this year! Jason Steed absolutely stole my heart. We first meet Jason at 5 years old in Hong Kong. A little blond haired cutie pie with blue, blue eyes filled with loss, loneliness and strength. So much strength! His mother died during child birth and his Dad is a military manalways away. But somehow,
This is a brilliant read! I felt a wide range of emotion while reading this action packed book. Mark does a such a great job at showing both Jason's life now in the present, and his life growing up, and it sets the tone for the resilient young man he really is. It also show cases the broken and then on the mend relationship he has with his father, Lieutenant Commander Steed of the HMS ARK Royal, based out of London, England. By the time Jason was almost 8, he earned two black belts and a 2nd Dan
