I made the mistake of listening to the audiobook, of which the narrator I LOATHED and it really took me out of the story.

I love that this book has so much diverse representation - I just wish I'd been able to enjoy it more without the annoying voice of the narrator. Perhaps I'll reread physically one day.

Everyone hates the shadow of an older sibling, but now Ace Wells is part of the B.E.S.T. program and he is determined to overshadow his brother. Part one of a science fiction trilogy, do not miss this novel.

This was such a fun and adventurous science fiction story! I loved the futuristic setting, and the group of kids in this book was so much fun to read about!

An interesting combination of predictable plot elements. A kid developing super powers; a "dream come true"; boarding school, a shadow agency; an older sibling with a strong legacy to live up to. While the details are unique, the general thrust of the plot breaks no new ground. Entertaining and has room to go some interesting places in future.

Ace Takes Flight is such a cute sci-fi story. I liked the sibling rivalry with Ace and Finn and Leo and their twin Emma. Siblings can have so many complex emotions about each other, each set of siblings showed a variety. I enjoyed learning about the different augs and how they enhance the human body. Being the new kid at B.E.S.T. Ace definitely has challenges to overcome, building friendships, staying out of trouble and keeping up with his school work. I think middle school students will be able to relate.
