Daniel was only three when his parents were killed&#8230; and now he has to fill their role as an alien hunter. Fortunately, Daniel has some special skills&#8230; like creating people and things out of stray molecules. And he has the friends he creates to keep him company&#8230; and watch his back. Ergent Seth, Number 6 on The List, is Daniel&#8217;s next target. Seth wants to take over the Earth, eliminate the human race, and move in his horse-headed fellow creatures. In the meantime, he&#8217;s kidnapping little kids and forcing them to deal drugs from his base in Malibu. Daniel&#8217;s never gone after anyone this high on The List before&#8230; can he defeat an alien whose powers may be greater than his own? Will he survive to go after his parents&#8217; killer? Written to appeal to ages 10 to 110, Daniel X could become the next Harry Potter. It&#8217;s that good! ~Nancy Lang, Dunbarton Public Library<\/p>\n<p>This is Anthony Horowitz on steroids! Patterson&#8217;s edgy, suspensful adult mystery style has been superbly crafted for a younger, tech-savvy audience.Teens will love it. The action and fiendish enemies will appeal to boys, and Daniel&#8217;s sensitivity will strike a chord in girls. The writing style is terse and modern enough for teens without descending into text-messaging brevity. I agree with Nancy, a potential Harry Potter.<br \/>Sally Nelson, Leach Library, Londonderry      <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FlumeAward &#8211; The Dangerous Days of Daniel X Discussion page for The Dangerous Days of Daniel X This is the &quot;review&quot; I posted on my library&#8217;s blog back in July: &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"moree\"><a class=\"btn btn-inverse btn-normal btn-primary \" href=\"https:\/\/nhlibraries.org\/fun\/2018\/03\/the-dangerous-days-of-daniel-x-2\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-flume-award-titles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nhlibraries.org\/fun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2473","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nhlibraries.org\/fun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nhlibraries.org\/fun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nhlibraries.org\/fun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nhlibraries.org\/fun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2473"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/nhlibraries.org\/fun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2473\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3434,"href":"https:\/\/nhlibraries.org\/fun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2473\/revisions\/3434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nhlibraries.org\/fun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2473"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nhlibraries.org\/fun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2473"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nhlibraries.org\/fun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
