So, in the end, it turns out that Insignia is a pretty cool book. It totally reminds me of Harry Potter--but with teens attending a futuristic military school in a science fiction setting instead of a castle to learn magic in a fantasy setting.The story is about Tom--the boy whose got the special "i...

Insignia is the type of book that would have blown me away if I had been any younger. While it is marketed as a Young Adult Novel, I'd probably recommend it for mature middle grade students or young high schoolers. I definitely don't see anything wrong in reading it as an older teen, like me, but i...
