William Haynes was the type of guy that everyone either wanted, or wanted to be. He was an honor roll student and captain of his middle school football team. He was dating the most popular girl in school and had dozens of friends. Yes, life was perfect for will....this is until a strange man shows up and forces his parents to reveal a secret that have kept hidden since he was born. He is told that he has been given a scholarship to a prestigious private school that his parents attended, a private school that happens to be in space. Will must choose between a life many would die for and a life none could imagine. A life where he is no longer perfect, where he must make new friends, and where he must survive a school rivalry like no other.

Review 
I received a copy of Bridgeworld in return for a honest review as part of the Blog Tour . This book is the story of Will Haynes, your average teenager, or is he. Quarterback for his middle school team, dating the most popular girl in school, can't get much better then that at least that's what Will thought. Final game of the season ends in a loss, and that's when everything started to change, he no longer has the girlfriend, and prospects of  quarterback next year are gone. Suddenly he is seeing a stranger in a black suit with blood red tie everywhere, even chasing him.

Will learns that he's not human, that his parents have been keeping a secret about who they are, that they aren't from earth. Suddenly Will is trust into a adventure he never expected to happen, Sent off to school in space, with other teenagers of aliens from other planets, and not the little green men that we think, they are just like us humans, only they live on different planets. Will travels on a spaceship to Bridgeworld where he will attend school. The school is a large cube shape, they all live at it teachers and students like a orbiting boarding school.

At school Will instantly makes a enemy a kid named Brandon who hates all humans from earth, they even call them terry's however he seems to be the only one. Will also makes friends, Jon, Ryan, Corey, even Abby the girl he has a crush on, who later becomes his girlfriend. He also joins the Zegma team, it's actually kinda cool, it's kind of like football where you run the ball, but you float above the ground and you can magnetically send the enemy players back to the start point. It's super unique and sounds like fun. Everything is finally going Will's way, until they have to face off the last game of the year against Starview. It just so happens that Starview students aren't the nice guys they happen to be evil, twisted, and have known to make Bridgeworld students go missing.

It's a unique story about a boy growing up to find out they life as he knows it is about to change, leading him off on a exciting new adventure in space. It's the kind of story that draws you in and keeps you entertained the whole time. I never noticed a slow moment, it's the story about Will's adventure at Bridgesworld. I found it enjoyable to read, it's not a heavy read, so I'm sure almost anyone would be interested in this book because who does want to go into space. It's kinda cool that the aliens are humans just on different planets. However earth of course seems to behind, the only planet that's still in the dark of the aliens.
