The 5th Wave
An Amazon Best Teen Book of the Month, May 2013 Spotlight Pick: Forget yourE.T.version of sweet, harmless aliens--inThe 5th Wave, Rick Yancey imagines a silent invasion that takes extraterrestrial intelligence to a whole new level.  Alternating points of view peel back each new layer of the novel while death, separation, and love,  push his diverse characters to survive in a terrifying new world.  As a storyteller, Yancey is as cunning as his aliens, weaving the characters’ lives together in unexpected ways.  After the first couple of chapters I  found myself sucked wholeheartedly into the story, wondering who can be trusted and what chilling new twist is lurking around the corner.  Book 2 can’t get here fast enough…--Seira Wilson
