Project Alpha by D.J. MacHale
5.0
The Earth is running out of energy. In fact, it has gotten so bad that there is a mandatory lights out every night. But - there is hope from the Source. At the beginning of the book 8 kids are entering the final phases of Project Alpha. 4 will be chosen to travel to deep space and retrieve the necessary ingredient to create the Source and solve the world's energy issues.
The 8 kids (age 12) train and fight and finally 4 are chosen. But that is just the beginning. Soon after they leave they discover that there is more to the mission than they were told. And what about the 4 who didn't make it???
I really enjoyed this book. Good interaction between the characters, some good mystery. The remaining 5 books are supposed to be coming out in rapid succession.
