The Dangerous Days of Daniel X

Written by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge

A book for readers in grades 3 and up reviewed by Shayne

    

The Dangerous Days of Daniel X is about an Alien Hunter named Daniel, whose parents died when he was three years old at the hands of a mantis known as The Prayer. The Prayer is number one on The List of Alien Outlaws, with number one being the strongest and most evil. Daniel's target is number six on The List. His name is Ergent Seth, and he ends up being the main antagonist of the book. He has enslaved children, who he uses to sell drugs. But, as Daniel tries to find Ergent Seth, he starts to mess around with him.

I really like The Dangerous Days of Daniel X for its many twists and Daniel's willingness to keep on going. Daniel’s friends help him against the aliens, and they support him whenever he needs it. All of Daniel’s friends have unique personalities and skill sets that they use to help him.
