The Resisters, by Eric Nylund(Grades 4-6)
Looking for a science fiction story that will grab you from the first page? Look no further (at least until you've finished this one).
Ethan Blackwood lives in a world controlled by aliens, only he doesn't know it, and neither does his sister or the other kids he hangs out with. Until puberty their supple minds can't be absorbed into the collective, so the aliens have created an elaborate ruse to keep the kids in a creative environment to get the most from their brains.
Sound creepy? When Ethan is approached by two "Resister" kids he has trouble wrapping his brain around the idea until he is launched into battle wearing the exoskeleton of a giant bug with whom he has mind-melded.
This story is action-packed fun at the start, and it doesn't let up! This is the first in a series... So now we just have to wait.
