Fledgling: Jason Steed by Mark A. Cooper
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Jason Steed: Flegling is a book full of history, action, military combat and of course Karate. The book takes you through Jason’s first eleven years of life. He starts out in Hong Kong learning karate, jujitsu and tae kwon do (just to name a few).
Right away, you know there is something different about him. He is stuborn, loves carrot cake and sneaks into a military base at night to play on the flight simulator. This just the beginning though. From this, he ends up beating unthinkable odds.
Along with a little bit of English Royalty added in too!
I won’t give away anymore. This story is full of surprises and great moments that will linger in your mind well past the hours you should be sleeping. I actually woke up laughing yesterday morning thinking about the Barbershop scene.
I cried, I laughed, my heart beat a little faster than normal sometimes and I finally decided I liked his father when he let Jason make his own decision in the end.
This is an excellent book for anyone who likes European war stories, young adult novels and books filled with action and adventure. Plus, I see a series in the making. Over all, this is a book that can be easily enjoyed by someone as young as ten but as old as eighty.
