Mind-Call (An Argo Book)

Rating:
Summary: Very good, interesting story for young adults
Review: "Mind-Call" is the story of a collection of gifted adolescents who struggle to find their way to safety after a natural disaster. The main character, Tallie, is intelligent, strong, and courageous, but also human and vulnerable, and the other characters are sympathetic and interesting. The story is gripping and original, and it is refreshing to find adolescent fiction that focuses on something other than popularity, school, appearance or relationships. I wish Ms. Belden had written more books about the House of Logran.

Summary: excellent young-adult reading
Review: Even as an adult reader, I found Mind_Call an absorbing science-fiction read. It was very refreshing to find a female main character who is not pining over boys or obsessing on her appearance, but is facing challenges with grit, intelligence and courage. I highly recommend Mind-Call -- if you can find a copy.

Summary: Loved this book, wish they would reprint these!!!
Review: I read this series out of order years ago, starting with Mind Find, then Mind Hold and finally scouring libraries for Mind Call. This is a gripping psychic talents series about young teens and children coming to terms with the powers they posess and the world around them. I honestly wish they'd reprint these books--if you have copies of these books or can find them at your public library, consider yourself lucky. I really reccommend them to anyone who has ever felt themselves to be "different" (doesn't just about everybody?) But they're hard to find and expensive to buy. With all the success with Harry Potter and the Roswell TV series I think somebody should consider putting them back on the shelves for another generation to enjoy.

Summary: ESP Saves Them All
Review: Tallie starts out having dreams--terrifying nightmares--of things that were going to happen. Using those dreams, she prepared herself so that when the events did occur, she was able to escape alive, and even take some tools to help her. Surviving the desertion of her adopted family while she was ill, followed by a devastating earthquake and flood, Tallie sailed herself and the family cat to a little island that she had seen in her dreams. But she was pulled back to the flooded city to rescue a baby, who drew her to him with his mind.

Once she had Andy, the baby, with her, she travelled to another place she'd seen in her dreams--a great fortress in a cliff side, where a mad man resided. There she was joined by other kids like her with similar talents, and together they struggled to support each other against great danger. Only the group of them could stop terrible events from happening. As they worked together and helped each other, they became a family.

This book was very gripping, occasionally confusing, and impossible to put down.
