Customer Reviews

one of the best books i've ever read

This book is amazing! Imagine you could control the trees around you to help you with your laptop. Well this is the story of how this happens to a gifted junior-high students working for an (un-beknownst) evil scientist in th jungle. I really recommend this book to all young readers, especially people who like science-fiction.

Environmental fiction mixed with Sci-fi

This book is a new twist from Rob Thomas, who dabbles in the sci-fi aspect. The story is straight forward...and continues the running themes of "fitting in" and not being singled out for teenagers. Grady uses his mind and is a very pro-active character willing to do what is needed to be done, and Grady's subtle humor will appeal to most of Thomas's fans. Grady is a wonderful character and I was very glad to get to know him...despite the "childish" cover it is worth your time and effort, especially for the visual descriptions of the rainforest.
