About The Book
Title: MIDNIGHT ON STRANGE STREET
Author: K.E. Ormsbee
Pub. Date: January 21, 2020
Publisher: Disney-Hyperion
Formats: Hardcover, eBook
Pages: 400
AVERY MILLER is looking for a fresh start, away
from all the bomb sirens and talk of war in Los Angeles. She expects to find a
haven in Callaway, Texas, where the cool new substance “glow” was first
discovered. What she doesn’t count on is making friends with glowboard skaters
Dani, Bastian, and Lola, aka the Sardines. . . .
DANI HIRSCH, captain of the Sardines, knows for a fact they’re the best glowboarding team in Texas—if only they could prove it. Nothing will distract Dani from leading the team to victory at this summer’s big race. Not even food explosions in the school cafeteria, or a mysterious midnight message, or secretive government workers in Callaway. . . .
BASTIAN GIL is sick of the bullies who tease him for being a Sardine, for being different. Sure, he and his twin sister, Lola, can share thoughts. That’s just twin telepathy, though—nothing too weird, right? But when Bastian finds he can do even stranger things, he starts to wonder if maybe he really is different from the other kids at school. . . .
LOLA GIL wants life to go back to normal, to a time before big glowboard races and government investigations. But the more the Sardines discover about themselves—like how they can share thoughts and move objects with their minds—the more Lola begins to fear there was never anything normal about her. . . .
When the Sardines receive an ominous, otherworldly message, they must decide if they’ll use their newfound powers to stop an impending disaster—one that could have more to do with the war, their bullies, and glowboarding than they can possibly imagine.

Review: this was unnecessarily long. a third of the way in, it was obvious what the story was about and what was happening. the constant repetition of the same sentences and conversations being used got annoying really quickly.
there was a war going on and it was always mentioned but never why there was a war or what it was for. this could have been a good 150 page book instead of 400 pages.
