Word of Caution: (may contain spoilers)

To some, this book can be seen as creepy and dark. A dangerous man invented a machine that is capable of inserting thoughts into minds around the world. With this machine, he hopes to take over the world. There are many scary parts so I don't recommend this to those who have sensitive minds.

Positive Notes:

This book is one of the most imaginative, suspenseful, and unique books I have ever read. It will keep you on your toes from Chapter 1. It teaches the importance of good teamwork and sticking together through difficult situations. It is a book that you should have no choice but to read.

Who:

Great for teenagers age 13 and up.
