In the book Michael Vey by Richard Paul Evans, a certain boy named Michael Vey, hence the name of the book, has had electrical powers for his entire life. He learned of his unusual powers very young because of accidents that occurred. His mother told him to never tell anybody about his powers, because she fears that his peers would reject him because of it. He never uses his powers around other people. But when he uses his powers on 2 school bullies that are being especially mean to him one day, they discover his powers, as well as another girl who was watching. To make sure that no one else finds out about his powers, he tells the girl, Taylor, to never tell anybody. But really, she is relieved, because she has electrical powers as well. Michael Vey is not alone in his world. Michael also tells his best friend, Ostin. Ostin is not electric, but he is extremely intelligent. He is intrigued by Michael's powers, because he is very smart and is interested in how it is possible that Michael and Taylor have their powers. He helps Michael in his missions.
As Michael and his new friends learn about their powers, they discover that they are being hunted by a secret organization who know about their powers, and wants to use them for immoral purposes. In an effort to capture Michael, those hunting Michael and his friends kidnap Michael's mother, but fail to capture Michael or Taylor. Michael and his friends must use their abilities to save his mother, and meanwhile learn that there are many more children than just themselves that have electrical powers. They learn that when they were born, they were the sole survivors of a freak accident caused by as new piece of experimental technology used to scan newborn babies for health problems. 17 babies survived-the electrical children-but most of the babies exposed to the technology were not so lucky.
If Michael and his friends continue on their current route and continue their search for Michael's mother, I think that they will eventually find their answer, except it will not be easy. I think that they will be met with extreme hostility and danger. The secret organization committed to capturing all of the electrical children has shown in the past that they are willing to do anything in order to accomplish their goal, and so I think that Michael and his friends will suffer hardships and trials in order to save Michael's mother I wonder if any lives will be lost in the cause to save Michael's mother and destroy the secret organization. I wonder if any of the other electrical children will join Michael in his mission.
While reading this book, I noticed that the powers that Michael have are very similar to a character in a video game called Infamous. In the game Infamous, the main character-Coal- gained electrical powers very similar to Michael Vey in a freak accident, just like in Michael Vey.
