In the Unity objective we get to meet Helaina and J.R; two
fifteen year old cousins. It soon becomes clear to their family and Unity
corporation elders that these two children have some special gifts. Unity is
not a normal corporation, but a company founded by Aliens that came to our
planet many generations ago. Even though the plot is quite complex and there is
a lot to find out about the world of Unity, Sandra Golden writes in an easy to
follow style that will let even the younger reader enjoy this adventure.
Helaina and J.R have some special gifts but deep down they are normal teenagers
that like to hang out with their friends and go to the beach. The two
characters are likable and you can easily relate to them. If I had one quibble it
would have been that I felt hungry while reading this book as the Unity family
does like to cook and put on meals and treats. The detailed descriptions did
lead me to my fridge once or twice! A promising start to the series, that
leaves plenty to be discovered and explored. This is a YA Sci-fi adventure that
will suit a younger reader. I was given
a copy of the book by the author for an honest review.
