![]() So, that said, it is an interesting book and it does have a lot of suspense. (A kind of escape from reality.) Everything that is done in the "school" they are brought to is very secret and kids are punished for breaking rules (of which there are none, except.) The bad guy takes them to a room and straps them to a machine where he uses his mind to overpower them and somehow it ends up being something the kids enjoy and can't wait to do again. The "bad guy" uses a machine to control and use the kids' minds (preferring the orphans because they won't be missed) and part of the control is brainwashing them into believing the lie that whatever their worst fear is, they don't have to fear it. But you have to get through the long beginning, not knowing where the story is leading. The story becomes more "adventure and mystery" once you know the reason behind the tests and the mission. often brought to strange places not not knowing what to expect and also not allowed to contact anyone (a caretaker.) Mysterious yes, but also creepy. They are put through a series of "tests" by strange adults. Orphaned children are singled out to participate in a dangerous mission. There is some weirdness and creepiness, and the story takes a while to develop. ![]() ![]() ![]() I am going to be nit-picky because I think you are here to know whats in the book, not whether I liked it. ![]()
