Cool twist on a popular theme. The Academy kidnaps and mutate's young teens and puts them through a series of trials in order to 'weed out' the weaker of their creations.The author leaves room for suspense, because we're not sure as to why The Academy is breeding this super army of elite mutant teenagers. I enjoyed the atmosphere the author created, and action scenes are great, especially the fight with Asa and Shelby. The setting of the Academy is well developed, and the main character Asa is likable.Weaving an intricate story of change, friendship, and survival, The Academy: Book 1 was an enjoyable read for me! Great!
