My own publisher brought "Country and The Rock" to my attention as the first book in a new series, I thought it was a wonderful book for young boys or girls, too, If you had a child with low motivation to read, the story of Country and his buddies, the clubhouse, the dirt bikes and the aliens ALIENS! couldn't help but grab their imaginations.
Well, you ain't seen nothin', yet!
"Country Captured" is the sequel and literally picks up where the first book left off, . . and I mean by minutes later! It is full of action and adventure that will thrill young imaginations and inspire daydreaming and all sorts of thought processes that do not involve a video screen or a game consol.
It's fast paced, it's thought provoking and full of 'what ifs' you can share with a young mind, Exciting to read, well written, AND, . . a cliffhanger to boot! Buy 'em both, wrap 'em up, and give someone hours of 'wow!' A thoroughly enjoyable read and one that young readers would be swept up in the inventive imaginings of science fiction.
I would have pressed the Four Star button but as I came to the book without the benefit of reading the first book in the series Country and the Rock I suffered from not knowing much about the Goodies and the Baddies.
Perhaps a short introduction or backstory could have brought me up to speed before the fresh action started,
Having made that point, the description of the aliens, the way that outer space was described and the sheer pace of the story would be sure to ignite the minds of young readers.
Cracking. This is a fantastic MiddleGrade read especially for boys who love action and adventure,
Concepts aren't difficult to grasp as Country main character gets abducted by the bad people, But since one of his captives happens to be an incredibly nice person, Country's abduction is a hell of an adventure,
My favourite character The fluffy ball of light that is like a cat, Gorgeous and very useful!
I really enjoyed reading this scifi story written for middle schoolers, In fact I imagined as I read how much my students would enjoy the story had I been reading it aloud! Country Captured is the second book in a series but it is written to stand alone.

Youll have to read it for yourself! A light, fun read for middleschoolers! I loved the creativity shown through the different alien creatures, Country whose actual name is Seanand I loved that his name was "Country", and the realistic touches of learning to think on his feet and deal with his family.
There is no time to really catch your breath when this story starts, but it's a wild, fun ride,
As a story aimed at middleschoolers, I found it to be very easy to read with enough action to keep young readers engaged, without sacrificing details, atmosphere and character, the necessary nuts and bolts that make a true fantasy tale come alive.
I didn't realize there was a bookwhen I had picked up this one, I'll have to add it to my reading list, This is a fantastic bookand fantasy readers will find themselves able to pick it up without needing to know anything from the previous book.
I very gladly read the second of this series by author S, Willett and was delighted to see that it was even more interesting than the first one, Willett has created a fascinating world of space travel, where you walk through the craft with Country, you eat the weird foods, and you, . . I can't tell. You have to read it yourself, Can't wait for the third of the series, This is an alien adventure about a twelveyearold farm boy named Country Sean West, and his friends Miguel, Brady, and Colt who live in Michigan.

The reader quickly learns that Clicker had been injured, as his alien blood white blood was now splattered all over Countrys clothes.
The next day, Country is kidnapped by Venaticians and taken by alien ship to the Whirlpool Galaxy,
As the reader continues this story, Country gives a description of his friend, Clicker, and other friendly extraterrestrials: Sprytz a catlike creature from the Andromeda galaxy.
There are good and bad aliens, Ramar, who is a great warrior Clickers dad, has the allegiance of other good soldiers, The bad aliens, Venaticians Venies, live on the planet Venatici, and they are powerful aliens stealing fossils from the planet Earth, and using mind control to manipulate their will.
To name a few others: Brigg Mr, BrushCut, Kalupeous Kallie, the daughter of Aphren, and Grinst a skinny alien ship navigator, Rakes, Trimineans, and ominous snakelike creatures,

A ball of light that thinks its a cat.
A virtual reality tube for an exercise room, A refrigerator that prepares food on request, and a cute girl who seems to like you, Too bad its all on an alien spacecraft piloted by a race intent on blowing up your friends home planet! Country, the hero in Country Captured, takes it all with aplomb.
Finally taking his fathers lessons to heart, Country takes action in a most entertaining way, This is a truly fun book, and will be particularly enjoyed by middleschool readers, I liked the first book in the Country series, but mentioned that there wasn't enough slam bang action for the middlegrade boy,
This second in the series adds the action I missed in the first, Who wouldn't like being captured by aliens I would have like to see Country trip Brigg, then strut away with a "sorry about that, "
Once Country reaches Clicker's world, his daring escape from the Venies' ship and his race to stop the explosion are quite exciting, Rakes give me the shivers now,
Downside: A bit too much time on the Venies' ship dealing with the food, clothing, exercise stuff, I don't think we needed quite so much, Also, if the Venies are evil, why isn't Country slapped into something a little more dungeonlike
But that set up might very well be important to the next book, so I'll just assume there's something suspicious about ketchup which will be revealed in book.
Overall, this is a fun series foryear old boy readers, Every kid fantasizes about being whisked off into space, but kidnapped Well, our hero makes the best out of it, Young and old readers will love the light romp of Country and his friends, and all the cool things he gets to do in an alien culture.
Fun! This author seeks to intensify the experience of reading for that boy or girl who find it difficult, Willett offers her readers high action, adventure, and a believable fantasy world, Her characters leave a mark by giving us insight into the feelings many share, .
