Mindbenders

Mental magic is all very well but when a vivarium full of ants tune into it, the lives of Vinny and Toby begin to go out of control. Vinny's mind is invaded by the Queen's voice; large ants hatch and, as a result of an accident, escape into the world. There follows a fierce battle fought on both mental and physical planes and a kind of victory which leaves things open to further disturbing possibilities. Fisk combines both science and magic in this exciting story which is told in an economical style and includes some interesting characters, not the least, Aunt Craven. Try it with middle juniors.
