what if you were able to read other people's minds? what if other people were able to read your mind? what if the people reading your mind were not very nice people?mr sleator goes through all of these different scenarios with amusing results. His point of view through a teenager's eyes who falls into a toxic waste dump makes for a very fun book. My only complaint with this book is that it is just too short. I wish there was a toxic dump we could fall into and read other people's minds. I live in new jersey and while there are a number of lovely toxic waste sites to choose from, i don't hear about too many psychics- or are they reading my mind right now?
