(Academy #1)
Jonathan Chambers isn’t a vampire. He isn’t a wizard. He doesn’t have a girlfriend. His teenage life was relatively normal until a mysterious stranger recruited him to an even more mysterious paramilitary academy for gifted boys.
After years of rigorous training, he and two others are selected for an elite program that will test their mettle and their friendship by sending them back in time to alter the present. On one of the bloodiest days of battle of the Civil War, they will learn a life-altering lesson – that not everything is always as it seems

Review:
When is Academy #2 getting published???? I hate when I have to wait like this.... :@
I am a huge fan of YA books....
This story begins with Jonathan and he is wounded. He tries to remove a bullet with the medical kit her received at the academy. Chapter changes and you think he is running towards the enemies but he really is at his school at 13 playing football. His foster dad dies and his mom tells him he must leave her home by Monday after burying her husband. When they arrive to the cemetery the driver chit chat with Jonathan. Jonathan tells him that he must leave home and go back to the system but its more likely he will run away. The driver tells him he has good luck because he works for a school called San Lorenzo Academy for gifted boy just like him. They are looking for new recruits with good physical condition to offer them a high quality education. The driver claims there is no catch so Jonathan leaves with him.
On his way to the Academy, Jonathan fells asleep without feeling tired. When he wakes up alone in a room he tries to remember how he got there. A man and a soldier get into the room and tell him he had to be drugged to avoid that he comes back to the Academy in case he fails.
So the journey begins...
Jonathan stands out from his peers and While in training Jonathan competes with another boy called Jones. Jones cheats and makes him trip to win over Jonathan and their group including them are punished. Four years have passed and they graduated from the program and they are friends now!!! Jonathan, Jones and Reilly are called by Bond who tells them they had been selected for a secret program in which they will be able to travel through time and change the past. They are sent to a farm to get proper training.
Their first mission is to go back to the Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War and kill a man. They have to become real Civil War soldiers learning the way they used to speak 150 years ago and their weapons so they don´t look like outsiders and complete the mission. During their training we witness that their division is in trouble, while Bond tells them they have to go kill a man without explaining exactly what he did, Jonathan is being dragged to a basement where someone else tells him that Bond is lying.
So they go back to the past and the three boys are worried for changing the past forever or erase themselves from their present.
When I finished this books I thought - Now I have to know the rest of the story.!!! When is the second installment getting published.
This book has military background and the main character is boy. You don´t necessarily have to be a man to read this book. I enjoy this type of stories because of all the suspense and action but that´s just me. Reading this book depends on the readers preferences.
Opening the ball was entirely different from what I use to read.. It´s not about angels or vampires or werewolves in love with humans. This book was well written by the author.
