The Secret Hour by Scott Westerfeld is a fictional novel that is about five characters that have a super power and live in the city Bixby, Oklahoma. These five teens all have the privilege to have an extra hour to themselves to roam around the city while everyone else in town is frozen in time. Everything seems fine up until the new girl named “Jessica Day” moves in from Chicago. The night creatures called “Darklings” somehow feel threatened by her presence and now need to attack or get rid of her somehow. The four characters use their power and tools to battle these creatures and try to keep her power under wraps to protect her from being harmed. Even though they are trying to protect her, Jessica is trying to figure out her own power that could help complete the gang and save them from the creatures. I would recommend this book to Science Fiction book lovers that are in the grade range of 6-10th grade. This book would greatly be appreciated by teens who love Science Fiction novels just like Dr. Lesesne stated in “Making the Match”. Teens love the fictional characters, powers, creatures and a plot that is filled with action and suspense. This would be a great hit and recommendation, especially for a book talk.
