Of Two Minds: The Minds Series, Book One - Paperback

by Perry Nodelman (Author), Carol Matas (Author)

"Changing the world was impossible. Creating another one was worse. And escape was out. She was trapped." A collaboration between acclaimed writers Carol Matas and Perry Nodelman, this roller coaster of an adventure is filled with twists and turns, excitement and fun. It is an extraordinary creative fantasy about empowerment that compels readers not to take everything at face value.
