The Amy at the center of this debut novel in Kaye's Replica series has a problem
most 12-year-old girls would kill for: she suddenly excels at everything she
does. She performs flawlessly at gymnastics practice, answers a complicated
math problem in a split second and demonstrates tricky maneuvers on ice skates
with ease. In an intentionally cryptic prologue and in subsequent, brief interludes
between chapters, the author introduces "the director," who is investigating
the possibility that a "project" that was "terminated" 12
years earlier has in fact survived. Meanwhile, Amy's mother (a biologist) has
been vague about the girl's father for years (he allegedly died in a car accident
before she was born), but Amy is determined to uncover her family history for
an autobiography assignment. At the conclusion, after rescuing Amy from a mysterious
pursuer, her mother comes clean: her daughter is one of 13 clones?all named
Amy?created as part of a government experiment to create a "master race."

Artemis Fowl / Eoin Colfer. -- New York : Scholastic, 2001.
Artemis Fowl is a one of the greatest criminal minds the world has ever seen. He is heir to the Fowl family empire—a centuries old clan of international underworld figures and con artists. He is arguably the most cunning Fowl of all. He is also twelve years old.
Artemis' interest in mythology and an obsession with the Internet leads him
to discover proof of the existence of "The People"- otherwise known
as fairies, sprites, leprechauns and trolls. He learns every fairy has a magical
Book. If he can find the Book, it will lead him to "The People's" vast
treasure of gold.
With his brutish sidekick, Butler, he sets his plans in motion. Artemis tricks
a drunken old fairy woman into loaning him her Book, a tiny golden volume,
for thirty minutes. He scans it with a digital camera and emails it to his
Mac G6 computer. Back in his mansion in Ireland, he is the first human to decode
the secrets of the fairies.
Artemis needs a leprechaun to help him with this plan. He and Butler hunt
down Holly Short, a tough, female LEPrecon, part of a gung-ho Fairy commando
unit, who is on a reconnaissance mission.
He kidnaps her, and a major battle begins. It's satyr against gnome, man against
elf, and for the first time in his life, Artemis must decide what he values
most.
For fans of J.R.R.Tolkien, J.K. Rowling, and Philip Pullman, Artemis Fowl
is a high-tech fantasy, mixing faries, leprechauns, and computers, in a brilliant,
thrilling story that is destined to become a cult favorite

ruler's 13-year-old son and his younger brother and sister leave their technologically
overcontrolled home and find themselves on a series of perilous adventures.
Tendai and his siblings encounter mile-high buildings and other miracles of
scientific advance; they also find fetid slums and toxic waste dumps. As they're
kidnapped by gangsters, forced to slave in a plastic mine, and accused of witchcraft,
they're pursued by mutant detectives, who are both bumbling and sensitive and
who always seem to be just one step behind rescuing the children. In the best

The long distances of interstellar space have given hope to the defenders of Earth--they have time to train these future commanders up from childhood, forging them into an irresistible force in the high--orbital facility called the Battle School.
Andrew "Ender" Wiggin was not the only child in the Battle School;
he was just the best of the best. In this new book, Card tells the story of
another of those precocious generals, the one they called Bean--the one who
became Ender's right hand, his strategist, and his friend. One who was with

Aliens resembling dogsthe Wawakakidnap humans for medical experiments; when
taken prisoner, Ralph must be rescued by the catlike Fefethil, who used Earth
in the past as their warriors' burial ground, and must now undo the effects
of their ancient wars. Westall manages to slip an anti-vivisectionist message
smoothly into his story, and his aliens preserve their animal qualities nicely
(humans do look rather slow by comparison). Though some readers may pause at
Northern English idioms and phrasing, the characterization of small-town life
disturbed by an encounter with the supernatural is pleasing, often funny, and
the adventure doesn't let up for a moment. Ages 12-up.

n this sequel to Wolf Tower (Dutton, 2000), readers will find Lady Claidi
Star getting ready for her marriage to Argul, a Hulta hottie. She is kidnapped
just before the ceremony by men from the Wolf Tower, whose Law she has recently
destroyed. Her captors are double-crossed and instead of returning to the Wolf
Tower, Claidi is dumped in the middle of a strange world peopled by robots
and mechanical animals. Among her new companions is Venn, prince of the realm.
He believes that she has asked to come there and together they start to unravel
the mysteries behind her kidnapping and the Wolf Star. There are connections
between Venn's mother and the families of the Towers (mentioned in the first
book) and a not too surprising connection between Venn and Argul. Claidi is
a likable character whose voice is true, but the tone and language in her writings
never establish a sense of place or an understanding of the worlds in which
she finds herself. The journal style and the episodic plot do not allow for
a great deal of shading, and those who haven't read the first volume will be
completely in the dark. Lee's tale offers readers lightweight confection, but
for those who want to enter the world of the story, suggest Susan Cooper's "The
Dark Is Rising" sequence (McElderry) or Robin McKinley's stories of Damar.
For characters that are struggling to find their place in the world, try Ellen
Kindt McKenzie's Taash and the Jesters (Holt, 1995) or Lloyd Alexander's "Westmark" trilogy.
