The rumors of a powerful reactor buried under Ghost Island are TRUE – and Grabbem Industries want it for themselves! Axel and BEAST are racing to keep it out of Grabbem’s hands. But could the rumors of a ghost monster be true too?
BEAST is no ordinary robot, and Axel isn’t your usual gamer – together they’re an unstoppable team, working to fight Grabbem Industries, and anyone else who threatens the planet.
The Axel & Beast books are packed with super-cool tech, a diverse cast, a lightning-fast pace, and word art and energetic illustrations, along with exaggerated, over-the-top situations – and villains – to keep emerging readers glued to the page.
My kids have been enjoying the series, but I was disappointed to learn that in book 4 the robot Beast actually turns out to be a homosexual robot. Yep. I was nauseated by the environmental premise of the evil corporation potentially blowing up a coral reef with a nuke, but this is just so sad and desperate. Is it really the purpose of fiction to instill a pseudo-morality?
