Acclaim for Jon S. Lewis
“With its mix of high school, space aliens, and conspiracy theories, Lewis' first book in the C.H.A.O.S. series is
I Am Number Four
(2010) for a slightly younger set. . . . Mechanical spiders, jet packs, Nazi/alien alliances, and characters with names like Borog and Zandarr will render certain readers putty in Lewis' capable hands.”
