Ascension by A.L. Patterson is Part 1 in The Ascension Series. The action starts out slow and builds up to a great climax. In the beginning, the story familiarizes the reader with eight average high school students. It all changes at the first party of the year. They discover a mysterious crystal emitting light in a barn. The eight young adults agree to touch it - Clark, Sarah, Donny, Chloe, John, Charles, Big Dan and Andrew. They don’t remember anything else until the next morning, when they discover that they’ve been gifted with telekinesis, the ability to move objects with their mind. This story weaves the destiny of many teens as they come of age as superheroes. It is a real page turner as the plot unfolds. A few of the characters choose to use their powers to help fight crime. Others are mainly interested in helping themselves. It explores the choices we make when faced with that much power. Ascension is one of the better YA e-books out there. Great new release!
