Jessie Low Gan’s book, Misty, is set on Earth, but Misty herself has been trained by the government of Tetris from when she was eight years old. She is now fifteen and determined to do her part in banishing the forces of evil from the world. She is very ambitious and works hard to become a leader, commander of an Alpha group. She can engineer water, while her partner, Adeen, can coax fire to do her will. This is shown initially as play in teasing Burnett, a boy who can cause live plants to grow. It quickly becomes apparent that their trainer, Master Dalia, intends these “magical” skills to be employed in battle and the group travels the world from guarded camp to guarded camp for practice in every possible environment.
Misty by Jessie Low Gan contains a story that has been well researched and is vividly told. The reader is drawn into a different world where every movement the heroine, Misty, makes is spied on by hidden cameras, and the camps are surrounded by deadly, high-voltage electric fences. Each one is in a different place, spread across seven continents, all accurate and shown in vibrant detail, down to the coral of the Great Barrier Reef. The action scenes are stunning, and the effect they have on Misty is dramatically described. The only reason to pause before finding out what comes next are the clever sketches that illustrate the current scene so appropriately. Misty finds freedom by chance, and meets Princess Adaeze, an ordinary human girl living with her family in the rain forests of Ghana, and freedom is tempting. A flowing, exciting YA novel from a very talented author.
