As much as my parents…or any parents…can get annoying, I still love them. So when my mom gets brainwashed and starts working for Colonel Selliwood, I know it’s up to me to save her. And this time I’m not alone. I’ve got some new friends and some even newer gadgets to help me out, but will it be too little too late?

This book is okay. It has some great moments. But what REALLY bugs me about it - like really gets on my nerves is the character, Ian. He's a ridiculous character. Cliched and terribly written. I want to hit the author with a brick everytime he opens his mouth.
First of all, he's meant to be from New Zealand? Okay, cool. That's great because I like reading characters who aren't from America. But by like the second page he's on I am SO over the stupid kiwi jokes/the brown fruit joke/the way Priscilla goes on about his annoying accent. And ENOUGH with the Australia/New Zealand jokes. Like ffs. Two different countries. It's not that big a deal Priscilla. Get the F**K over it. And why the HELL does Ian always call her sheila? NOBODY DOES THAT. NOBODY IN NEW ZEALAND DOES THAT. It's not even a New Zealand cliche. It's an AUSTRALIAN thing - and just by the way, people in Australia don't actually say it. And if they do, they certainly don't say it every other sentence. Also, Kiwis/Aussies don't all sleep out under the stars (going bush, as the author calls it) Seriously, what the hell? It's stupid. It pisses me off. It's lazy writing. And I actually LOVE these books and re-read them all time so that's why I am unreasonably annoyed about it. It just feels like a dumb gimmick for her American audience. And i'm sick of having the piss taken out of from where I live. It's like she couldn't be bothered to research how we actually speak.
I heard somewhere that the author actually went to Australia once, so I've even more confused...
aghrjfrfkr *bangs keyboard* I dunno. It just makes me mad. ENOUGH WITH IT. I wonder if she went to NZ too.
In fact, now that I think about it - all the characters that aren't American are terribly cliched. Like Xi. As if some ten old kid would always be drinking tea, just cause she's from England.
But anyway. The rest of the book is good. Fast paced. Full of action. Makes you want to keep reading. I mean, she clearly needs a better editor. Are these self published? I dunno - they feel self published. I dunno. I thinkt this book is the worst one of the series. But look, they ARE fun and they have some good moments....the dad is awesome. Wish he had more scenes...

This is the third book in the series about a girl who one day shoots fire out of her finger tips. I enjoy Priscilla and her friends and can't wait till the next book comes out.
This story picks up after the last one when Priscilla mom's stabbed her father in chest and kidnapped two other people that she had rescued before. Dr. Witherall and Colonel Selliwood have activated a chip in her brain and now controlling her.
Priscilla and her brother are searching for their mom, Katya and Peter. Then how to unprogram tham.
Dr. Witherall and Colonel Selliwood have been trying to creat super soldiers by messing with DNA. Quin was the first too survive and for years after she escaped from them was trying to rescue the other children they had made and were controlling them. They all had different talents.
Quinn was strong,fast and smart. Priscilla was fast ,strong and shoot fire from her fingertips. Josh can read minds, know the future sometimes. Marco could turn all metal,
They have the same problems normal teens have plus a lot more. I like the relationships. I admit I cried in reading this book. looking forward to the next one.

This is a good superheroes teenager book. It is kind of like the incredible except more bloody. In order to get this book you would have to have read the other 2 books. SO it cod were it left off were the book left off. With Priscilla returning to the safe house and going to sleep That is when she find out her mother has got brainwashed and turned on her whole family due to the first book ( Which is called "Priscilla the great: In Love"???, then she goes on this whole adventure trying to help her family. It is great story. You will really enjoy it.

They keep getting better! I am falling more and more in love with these characters with each new book in the series. This is the third one,and it was highly emotional. Priscilla and her friends and family had to face a lot of challenges and some heartache. There was a lot of action, as there were in the first two, that made it hard to put the book down. Prissy is definitely my latest favorite character, and the series is among my favorites as well.

Great series. The book had several twists in the plot, but it was lacking some humor that I enjoyed in the previous books.
