Bignificent’s Review
Initiation is an incredible story about a boy named Tommy. When Tommy moves after his dad’s death, he feels like his life has been turned upside down. I could kind of understand his feelings because our family just moved to Texas from Malaysia! Tommy had a terrible first day of school but was surprised when a man showed up inviting him to Sky Raider Academy. But something terrible happens there too! Throughout the rest of the story, Tommy makes new friends and solves a big problem. I really enjoyed this story and simply couldn’t put it down. I loved how this book twists and turns in both predictable and unexpected ways.
