Mindscape (The Ability, #2)
(fantasy, young adult)
Telekinetic
preteens use their powers for good — and evil — in this mind-bending sequel
to The Ability, which Publishers Weekly called a “fast-paced,
superhero-tinged spy novel.”
Everywhere that Christopher
Lane turns, he sees the face of the boy he killed. There is no escape
from the guilt, not even on his return to Myers Holt — the secret London
academy where he and five others are being trained to use their mental
powers, their Ability.
But now that the threat of Dulcia Genever
has been dealt with, his friends are too busy working for the police,
entering the minds of some of the country’s most dangerous criminals, to
sympathize. Chris’s teachers are already concerned enough about him,
especially when Chris starts to wonder if the boy may not be a figment
of his imagination after all.
Meanwhile, alone in Darkwhisper
Manor, Ernest Genever is enjoying watching Chris’s torment. Yes, he will
keep his promise — Christopher Lane will die — but not until he has watched
Chris lose his mind waiting for Ernest to appear. For, if nothing else,
Dulcia Genever did teach her son one valuable lesson:
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
The daughter of South American parents, Monica Meira Vaughan grew up in Spain before moving to London at the age of five where she learnt English by watching Sesame Street and reading every Roald Dahl book she could get her hands on.
On leaving school, and after a brief stint in public relations, Monica decided to train as a primary school teacher. She has spent the last eight years working in special needs, mostly with children with emotional and behavioural difficulties.
Monica likes to start writing after midnight and it has been, until recently, her secret hobby. On the weekends she likes to try to catch up on her sleep.
She lives in London, England.
