DONOVAN TWINS: OLYMPIC MIND GAMES by Robert Ronsson Category: Science Fiction Age Recommendation: Grades 6+ Release Date: 9/10/07 Publisher: Pen Press Publishers Reviewed by: Marta Morrison Rating: 5 Stars This is a story about twins Jack and Sophie in the year 2012. Sophie has become the youngest participant for the British swimming team. Their parents are divorced and constantly worry about Jack and his feelings about his sister. But they don't need to worry about Jack, because he has his own thing. He has been visited by aliens on his computer and he has to think fast to save the world! I enjoyed this quick read and am recommending it to some of the kids in my classroom. It is fast-paced and has a lot of action, but it is also thoughtful and you grow to love these teens. You have to remember that this is a British book and it does have some English slang, such as trainers instead of tennis shoes and lifts instead of elevators. Have fun and read this book! |
