5.0 out of 5 stars An electrifying story, November 15, 2000

By

This review is from: Aftershock Mind Warp 6 (Mass Market Paperback)

I've read the entire Mindwarp series of 10 books and I still think Aftershock is the best (Alien Terror comes in second). Since there's no real explanation of the book I felt I'd better tell you what it's about. Antonia `Toni' Douglas is your typical American girl. Cheerleader and shopper, she does things with zest and wit and an excellent vocabulary. The story opens up with her shopping in a mall for a birthday present (she's turning 13). However, while in the changing room, she gets transported to the past (ten years before to be exact!). She does return, but when she dose, she's arrested for shoplifting (she had `left' with a boutique shirt still on). Later on, during a storm, Toni gets chased by punks and just when she thinks she's done for, the punks get zapped by lightning. It isn't until later that Toni discovers that it wasn't lightning from the sky, but an electricity bolt from HER. Toni has the powers to drain electricity from objects and shock people- also, if she collects enough electricity, she can go back through time. It's then that Toni finds out she's not alone. 5 other teens also have powers. This is the basic info. on them:

Ethan Rogers has super human fighting abilities (more in Alien Terror, #1 Mindwarp), Ashley Rose can swim underwater for any amount of time, and can split herself like a `planariun' worm and regrow body parts, without harming herself (more in Alien Blood, Mindwarp #2) and Jack Raynes can comprehend and speak any language even insect, fax, and alien (Alien Scream, #3). Elena Vargas (Second Sight, #4 Mindwarp) has the powers of a seer, a telepath and can move out of her body in spirit. Todd Aldridge (Shape Shifter, #5)is a shape shifter. However, it isn't long before things tart to fall apart. Toni discovers that there's somebody out to eliminate the `gifted' teens. The things are shape shifters, super human beings (with black bug like globes where their eyes should be) that try to kill you right when your powers emerge. Elena and Todd have already been captured and the creatures now want the rest.

And they are clueless as to how they can stop them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Read This Fantastic Book, May 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Aftershock Mind Warp 6 (Mass Market Paperback)

What I think is so great about Mindwarp #6 is that Chris Archer-- I'm assuming that he's a guy, and not "Christine Archer"-- has told the story of a twelve year old African American girl so convincingly! I'm going through the Mindwarp series with my kids, and I've been really impressed with all of them, but this one has been the most consistently innovative and surprising. Keep it up, Chris!

Toni Douglas is amazed when she finds out that she can travel in time, back to her dead mother! Toni goes through many adventures, such as being almost abducted by "Aliens" This is a great book for all ages!
