Ordinary kids: extraordinary powers: amazing adventures. Dax is starting to get used to his life as a shapeshifter. At last he feels safe and secure, surrounded by people he trusts, and with real friends who understand what he is going through. But then everything changes, and Dax finds himself in danger beyond his wildest dreams. And just when he needs his best friend Gideon to be there for him, Gideon's life changes too. Dramatically. And forever. Now Dax feels more alone than ever. Because he can feel that something is very wrong - but no one will take him seriously. No one else can see the danger that threatens to destroy them all . . . With appeal for both boys and girls, this is a fast-paced action adventure about contemporary children with super powers, told with award-winning Ali Sparkes's humour and lightness of touch. Perfect for fans of Alex Rider, Robert Muchamore's CHERUB series, and Young Bond.

I loved it, lots of suspense and a great twist at the end. Really hard not to think about it. i really like Lisa , because she is all though and hard but amazing and rich although she a little bit girly.

This book is as exciting as the first! My favourite character is Dax Jones because he is always worried about everyone and does not want them to get hurt. I would recommend it to 9 and over.

I found this book very interesting because he attended a secret school that only people with special powers knew about it.

Just as good as the first book, full of twists and turns. Can’t wait to read the third book!
Lieutenant Chip Hoverboard 14.08.2020
It was a really good book, same as the first. I liked Dax the best, as he can shift shape and he is the main character. There is Catherine who is a COLA, and she wants to kill the other COLAs. Dax helps to stop her evil plan.
Corporal Zeus Jellybaby 20.07.2020
It took a long time for Dax to learn shapeshifting like in other books it is like half way through the book.Dax was my favourite charater. I would recommend it to some one else but warn them that it takes a long time to in to it and is not as good as the first one.
Commander Cornelius Custard 18.07.2020
A really good read. I wish I could shapeshift too.

Slightly confusing but a brilliant book!

this book is the most exciting yet! Dax and his best friend Gideon have discovered that Gideon has a twin brother! Surprisingly a week later a twin sister arrives! Luke (the twin) seems ordinary maybe a bit bookish but Catherine she's on fire the most charming American girl for miles! But maybe behind all that fun and energy Catherine might not be all as it seems neither Luke. So who do you think is normal or evil?!
