"My name is Noah Prime. You killed my backup father. Prepare to die!"
This sci-fi novel only gets more bizarre from pg 1. If you're into aliens, conspiracy theories, and lemonade, this book might be for you :)
The cast: Noah starts out as a typical middle-schooler w/ strange animal powers. Ogden's an idiot & genius in equal measure, and Sahara's a gymnast w/ wit to spare.
The story: A new take on the biblical ark, this book has plenty of twists (that become progressively more wild) as Noah learns more about who he is and his purpose.
The verdict: As someone who doesn't read much sci-fi, the concepts spanning alien tech, memory, timelines, and teleportation were admittedly hard to wrap my head around. New ideas were slung at a dizzying pace and some belief suspension is required.
That being said, there's a ton of clever snippets & references throughout, and it's still fun to follow along as Noah uncovers the truth.
