He then meets a strange girl. Can the humans defeat the alien bugs and save Earth? Can Milo discover who the mysterious girl is? Find out in this amazing book!
Opinion:
The Nightsiders: The Orphan Army was an extremely well-described book, filled with action and adventure. An example is when “Milo adjusted his grip on the next one and pitched it with a split-fingered fastball. The rock burned past the flailing pincer and hit the Stinger in the mouth.” Jonathan Maberry wrote a wonderful book and I can’t wait for book two. I would recommend this book to ages 10 and up.
