\"Elemental\"<\/p>\n

If you’re a sucker for dystopias, like me, you’re definitely going to want to check out this trilogy — especially since the third book just came out and you won’t get stuck waiting for more books to be published!\u00a0 In this world, most people are born with the power of an Element \u2014 earth, water, wind, or fire.\u00a0 They can both sense and control their Element.\u00a0 Someone who was a wind elemental, for example, could sense exactly how quickly a storm was blowing in and\/or use the wind to fight off an enemy.\u00a0 This book reminded me of Avatar the Last Airbender<\/em>, which means I’ll need to pass it along to my son when he gets just a little bit older!<\/p>\n

Thomas was born without an Element, so he never quite felt\u00a0as if\u00a0he belonged or had anything to offer his community.\u00a0 But, when an unexpected storm threatened their island, the Guardians sent Thomas (and some other young people) off to the mainland to find shelter.\u00a0 While they were there, Thomas found so much more than shelter… With so much action, adventure, and mystery, this book is sure to hook even reluctant readers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
