Off to a Good Start
By Jade Z
My dad is an engineer, and he wanted me to at least consider engineering. As a girl, I was kindof discouraged from pursuing the sciences in favor of something easier like writing or art. I was in the gifted program, but I had no real motivation to do anything great.
This series changed that.
It's about a bunch of kids, several of whom are programmers, engineers, or scientists. Once I'd developed an interest in the series, I became interested in programming. I read this book in middle school when I wanted to be an author when I grew up, now I'm a senior in high school awaiting a response from the engineering school of my dreams. I beg of you- buy your kids this book. It's just a goofy story about teenagers who do spy stuff, but it changed my life.
After we had finished the first volume, my best friend and I got into a huge fight because there was only one copy of the sequel in the library. I ended up taking it home, calling her, and reading it out loud over the telephone. That's how good it was.
I'm not going to compare this book to other books like Harry Potter or Evil Genius. It is a deliberate parody of movie stereotypes, so of course it has shades of other stories.
Here's what I'm going to do- these are the elements that are a bit mature that you should look at before you consider letting your child read this book. A lot of people are saying their eight-year-olds loved it, but once they got farther into the series, there were problems with target audience.
Cursing: Throughout the entire series. Unavoidable, but not too bad. D***, H***, and occasionally S***. I can recall one use of B****.
Morbid/Dark themes: Start mainly in book 3.
Violence: Yes. All of the characters have some sort of moral code, and are generally good kids, but they are thrown into situations out of their control and are forced to kill and maim. It isn't played off or glorified.
Romantic themes: not a maturity issue, just know that the protagonist is hopelessly in love with his lab partner through the whole saga. There are other pairings, as well. And I know a lot of people don't like that, but they don't take away from the story at all.
Troubled Families: Yep. The whole thing. The protagonist is an orphan who doesn't know who his parents were, his best friend is trying to find out who killed his mother. A kid in their class is struggling because his father was a prodigy and he is simply above average. And that's just the first book. Just about every character has some family trouble throughout the series, but there's a good mix of troubled and functional sibling and parent relationships.
Sexual references: Yeah, this is what you've been waiting to look at. I started noticing them in book 5. My friends claim I'm unobservant, that they happen since the very beginning. But they are extremely, extremely subtle.
Cheese: The whole thing. Saturated. Do not read if lactose intolerant.
Religious attributes: This was the one thing that bothered me. The protagonist is a child genius, and he states later on that he has his doubts about whether there is a God, but is willing to consider the possibility. As a Christian kid, it bothered me a little, but it wasn't really explored, and I didn't feel like the author was trying to shove his lack of religion down anyone's throat. A villain later in the series has the ultimate goal of being worshiped as a deity, but this guy is a real psycho who garners no sympathy from the audience. A minor villain even later on is outright stated to be an atheist, but he hasn't been developed enough for me to know where the author is taking this. As someone who had some trouble with others making fun of my religion, I wasn't at all offended by any part of the series.
And I'm sure that there is more I have missed. On to the good stuff.
Out of the series, this first one is my least favorite. That is because each book is better than the last. I wrote fanfiction almost exclusively for this series throughout middle school, and I can tell you this: you will not regret reading this. It starts out cheesy and only gets cheesier, but it reads like the best video game you've ever played. The action is nonstop, the characters are amazingly developed, and despite the fact that the series is now pretty long(sitting at around 3000 pages total), it hasn't gotten old or repetitive.
I read this book when I was in middle school. I'll be going off to college soon, but I still keep up with this series. It's pretty goofy at the beginning, but it sticks with you. The plotline matures a bit and it tells a powerful message for a kids' series. This sits at the top of my recommendation list for young adult readers.

Bound to Be a Movie
By Kate Coombs
This is the second book out this year about a darker version of Hogwarts, although, since the two schools are set in our magic-free world, I suppose they're more like the opposite of whatever school trained the Marvel superheroes. Kids at a school for supervillains is, of course, a really terrific premise, if a slightly ominous commentary on our times. The other book, which I read first, is Evil Genius by Catherine Jinks. Evil Genius disappointed me by bogging itself down considerably in YA angst and dull plot points. In contrast H.I.V.E., while it threw me off in the first chapter, ended up being an entertaining, well-put-together book with a likable hero, Otto Malpense (yeah: last name Bad Thought!). What put me off at first was that a young Asian martial-arts expert and future roommate to Otto, Wing Fanchu, was described at least half a dozen times in the first 15 pages or so as having an impassive face. And then there's the H.I.V.E. student who's a fat German boy, a veritable clone of Roald Dahl's Augustus Gloop. This struck me as stereotyping--not simply un-PC, but cliched. HOWEVER, the rest of the book went on to be so engaging that I've decided to forgive Walden for those few bits of junk. H.I.V.E. is fast-paced, which is a real relief after Evil Genius. The book is sprinkled with humor, plot twists, and creative touches, e.g., the school motto is simply "Do Unto Others." Otto soon finds a team of buddies (Ron, Hermione, Neville) with a variety of abilities. And the story manages to wrap up nicely even as it sets us up for the inevitable Book Two. Bottom line: your 9- to 13-year-old will get a kick out of Otto Malpense and his villainous school!

Satisfying and Lovable While Heartbreaking
By Jade Z
I'm a female high school AP student. Yeah, I know. It says this is a book for boys between 9 and 12, but all of my friends are in the same condition.
I'm saying this now because this is the second point in the saga where things get just a little bit darker, and I even spotted a few mature comments here and there.
Pros:
1. Almost the entire book was narrated by Laura. As she is my favorite character, I liked how she finally got to play a significant role past "the girl down the hall with the pretty green eyes."
2. Humor. You can always count on Mr. Walden for it.
3. There were several parts where I cried, despite the whole book being saturated with cheese.
4. We got to see more of Professor Pike, who usually doesn't do a lot. It was nice. And funny.
5. The end was exciting, and even after five books the series hasn't started to get old. (Eight are out by now, and it's still strong.)
Cons:
1. It's very cheesy. Which isn't so bad.
3. No one ever dies in this series. They get killed and then brought back and killed and then brought back. Which I guess makes sense because it's a parody of movie stereotypes, but it still breaks some of the previous emotional impact.
In short, this is the best volume in the series yet. Read it. Read it. Read it. Rea... you get my point.
