## Description

The Jamie Drake Equation : Edge, Christopher: desertcart.in: Books

Review: He is literally the best at hour with a big imagination which makes all of his books so good I hope everyone reads his books!
Review: "The Jamie Drake Equation" has the feel of a 90s family movie to it, not that that's a bad thing. It focuses on 6th grader Jamie Drake, who has enough to deal with already -- his father is away on a space mission and will miss his birthday, and he can't get any peace and quiet at home with his death-metal playing grandfather jamming out at home. It only seems to complicate matters when Jamie runs into an eccentric astronomer, accidentally downloading what appears to be an alien signal from her laptop. The sci-fi elements are where this book really shines; the alien intelligence is interesting and original, and I've always loved psychic communication in stories. Edge incorporates a lot of real-world science and math, which I think kids will find interesting. This will be many readers' introduction to things like the Fibonacci sequence, and he does a good job of explaining. Jamie's an ok character; he's funny, but comes off as a bit younger than his age to me. I did want more interaction with the mom and the dad toward the middle of the book. There's a reveal that to me, an adult reader, was pretty predictable, but I thought it could've been effective if I'd seen more of Jamie's relationship with his family. Instead, it felt a little formulaic, like it's there because the author thought that's what goes in this kind of story. However, the final conflict of the book makes up for this, as the characters' reactions show the strength of their family bond. I did find the ending a little too fantastic for the books overall sense of realism (though some beautiful scenes do come out of it). If I have any other complaints, it's that certain characters highlighted early on turn out to be not very important, or are only important for one scene. I got the impression that overall, Edge was more invested in the sci-fi elements here than in the characters. Normally, that totally kills my interest in a book, but here, the concepts were interesting enough to keep me entertained. Kids should find plenty to enjoy here.

*by X***R on 20 October 2018*

This story is told by a little boy name Jamie - he is a young school going boy who has a sister - as he refers his mom saying that perfect family size is 4. Jamie's Dad is going to space and everyone is talking about it - at his school, in the news and finally dad goes to space, all is not well and Jamie somehow has found a way to communicate with Aliens (is it ?) read on - do not want to give our spoilers her - nice story book seems like the ones that used to come out in the 70s
