SYLO, by D.J. MacHale


The story: Everything is peaceful on sleepy Pemberwick Island until the day the tailback drops dead on the field and the sky blows up. Tucker and his best friend Quinn have a talent for being in the right places (or arguably, the wrong places!) to see mysterious events unfolding around the arrival of SYLO--an unknown branch of the US Navy that invades their peaceful island off the coast of Maine and changes their lives forever. Nothing is as it seems, and it's only going to get worse from here.

June Cleaver's ratings: Language PG-13; Violence PG-13; Sexual content PG; nudity G; magic and the occult G; substance abuse PG-13; GLBT content G; adult themes (murder, parental betrayal) PG; overall rating PG-13.

Liz's comments: This is a fast-moving sci-fi thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The only drawback is that there isn't even a hint of a conclusion at the end--maybe the kind of book you want to wait to read until the series is complete so you can start with book 1 and move through to the end without waiting for the next installment!
