Looks like an Electrifying read, doesn't it?

The first novel in the young adult category by Richard Paul Evans, Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25 (2011) is the story of a teenage boy who has the unusual ability to generate and channel electricity. He is being hunted by a mysterious organization.

The book is planned as the first in a series, and is the first book published by Glenn Beck under his Mercury Ink imprint. They even made a trailer, produced as if it were a movie.


Tropes used in Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25 include:
  • Comes Great Perks: The organization that originally created the electric children gives them anything they ask for, so long as they do what they're asked.
  • Gone Horribly Wrong: How Michael and the other kids got their powers
  • Heel Face Turn: Several, among them the school bully, who goes so far as to give Michael a ride across the country and Zeus, one of the enforcers for the evil organization.
