Book Review originally published here: http://www.iheartreading.net/book-tou...
I already reviewed two books by Wayne A.D. Kerr, Monsters and Miracles (The X+Y Files #1) and Kristin’s Ghost (The X+Y Files #2). I enjoyed both of these books a lot, so I looked forward to getting started on the third book in the series, Escape from Area 51 (The X+Y Files #3).
We meet up with Xander and Yzzie once again in this third installment. This time area, they get to go on a trip to a top secret military testing base, Area 51. For Xander, who has always been obsessed with UFOs and aliens, the trip is a dream come true, but when he starts hearing an alien voice in his mind, presumably belonging to an alien named I-pod, his dream turns into another adventure. I-pod is one of the most hilarious aliens ever, and he needs Xander and Yzzie’s help to escape Area 51. But the military base is one of the most heavily guarded facilities on earth, and breaking the alien out sounds almost impossible. But if anyone can do it, Xander and Yzzie can.
This book is easily the most fast-paced read of all three books in the series. Xander and Yzzie have grown a lot as characters, and they really shine in this book, each of them with their own strength and weaknesses. I-pod is amazing. Not only is his name hilarious, he knows how to crack a joke as well. I’m sure kids will love I-pod.
The writing is excellent, the story and plot are engaging, and the book has plenty of suspense, and a few unsurprising twists. Kids will love this fast-paced story, and all fans of middle grade books should definitely try this series.

A perfect read for 6th - 8th grade readers. Two kids have the adventure of their lives. Secret military bases, aliens, spaceships, all in one book. It is an easy to read with dialog that right for the age group. The story shows the imagination and skill that twelve year
olds can use to win. Just enough mystery and thrills. No blood or dead things.
The type is not so small it is hard to see and the off color of the paper is easy on the eyes.
thank you goodreads and Mr. Kerr for the free book. I will give it to my grandson to read also.
