"Zap! I'm a Mind Reader," by Dan Greenburg, is #4 in the "Zack Files" series of paranormal tales for young readers. The book is illustrated by Jack E. Davis. The series as a whole follows the adventures of New York City schoolboy Zack. In this installment he gains the ability to read minds after receiving an electrical shock. But when Zack begins to telepathically receive some very frightening messages, he begins to fear that his life is in danger.

I found "Zap!" to be darker and scarier than many of the other Zack episodes. The book is enlivened further by the series' characteristic humor. Illustrator Davis does some particularly good character work in this volume. Overall, a suspenseful and enjoyable horror-mystery with a satisfying payoff.

One day a kid named Zack was in science class trying to make an electric car. He went to the sink to wash his car...But. Zapp! He electrocuted and now he can read minds! I like this book because it is really interesting like when he got electrocuted so he could read minds. I recommend this book to anybody who likes funny books. By Dillon

I teach kids with learning problems of one sort or another. They absolutely love the Zack files. I just finished this one with an eight-year-old who ordinarily resists reading, and he not only finished but got angry at me for not getting a new "Zack book" right away!

In this story Zack get to read other person's mind accidentially. And he listen someone plan to kill someone next day. He ask for help to grownups. But they don't hear him. What Zack have to do?

This story is a kind of a rapid mistery. You can't think what happens next. This may be one of the best stories in this series. You should enjoy this like me.

The Zack Files: Zap! I'm A Mind Reader
By Dan Greenburg

I really liked this book because there was a lot of cool stuff happening, like Zack getting electrocuted. After that he could read minds. When he went to the nurse she said in her mind, "What a klutz". That made him feel really angry. Read this book and find out what happens next.

I believe you should read Zack Files. It is excellent. I liked the part where Zack gets zapped by a broken cord.

This is a book that is normally read by a fifth grader, but since I needed about 17 more pages to complete my required 1000 pages of reading for the quarter, I decided to read a simple book I read a long time ago. It's really clever how Dan Greenburg thinks up a mind reading book. I really enjoyed the quick and easy book that is at the same time interesting. I recommend it to anyone who likes the idea of mind reading.

I liked it ! It was one of the best books I've read! It held my attention with science stuff and the mind reading sounded cool
