Riveting story

Wow. This book blew me away. Charlie Price interweaves important mental illness information for young people with an intriguing, fast-moving story. Although I thought I knew where it was headed, I was surprised and immensely satisfied by the ending. Price, with his background working in adolescent units of psychiatric hospitals, creates an original twist with credible characters as he skillfully weaves his plot. I loved Dead Connection, and this new book positions Charlie Price as a master of the young adult novel.

Vibrant characters and fast-moving plot!

Charlie Price has done it again! His first book, "Dead Connection," was a delight. "Lizard People" is equally delicious. His artful blending of science fiction, drama, and intrigue gripped me from start to finish. Throughout the book I kept second-guessing how it would end. I was wrong on all counts! "Lizard People" is a page turner that will captivate any reader. Read it!
