Michael Vey - Characterization and more

As the book progresses, we see more of the electrical children joining Michael's cause. New characters include: Zeus, Grace, Ian, Abigail, Makenna, Jack, and Wade. They have even made a name for their club/resistance- The Electroclan. The Electroclan is becoming a considerable force to be reckoned with. As Michael and Taylor spend more and more time together, they become very close. There is a feeling of love and affection between them. Taylor makes it clear that no matter where he goes, she will go with him. She wants to follow Michael every step of the way and do everything she can to help him save his mother.

The other members of the Electroclan also want to help Michael save his mother, but they also have other goals in mind. They president of the secret organization that is hunting them- Dr.Hatch- has tried to kill every member of the Electroclan, especially characters like Zeus, Ian, Abigail, and Makenna who left Dr.Hatch to join the Electroclan. They all hate Dr.Hatch a lot.

Zeus was captured by Dr.Hatch when he was just a small child, and was corrupted by him. But he changed his ways and he is now a member of the Electroclan. He wants to help Michael, and has made considerable sacrifices that shows that he is loyal and does not want to go back to Dr.Hatch. He is able to shoot powerful lightning bolts out of his hands. Ian was also captured by Dr.Hatch when he was young, but he has been a rebel for a very long time. He never did any of Dr.Hatch's evil commands, and so joining Michael and his cause was easy for him. He is also blind, but that does not stop him from seeing. His electrical power is being able to see things around him through electrolocation. He can see through walls and can see much more than someone who is not blind. He sees things by detecting the small changes in the electrical field that all objects create.

Makenna and Abigail were both captured by Dr.Hatch when they were young. But just as Ian was, they were rebels. They never did any of Dr.Hatch's evil commands, and so they were punished for it. They have more reason than most to hate Dr.Hatch. Makenna is able to create light and heat, and she can heat hereself to almost 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Grace is also an electric child, but her powers are very limited. She is able to extract and store information from a computer.Grace helps Michael once, and then disappears from the books. Jake and Wade are also very important characters in the book, but they are not electric.They are intent on helping Michael save his mother and destroying Dr.Hatch's organization.

A theme that I see appearing in this book is friendship. Friendship is a very powerful thing, and this book shows it a lot. Inside, people have emotions and feelings that are difficult to explain, and friends are there so that we can express them. Because otherwise, those emotions and feelings would just keep building up, and they would never get out. Friendship is something that each one of us needs in our lives, and this book shows that very well.
