Enemy Mind
Syah Walker feels that she's the best Drifter ever. With the help of the MindLink machine at Emdaria North Middle School, she goes into the minds of other students and help them battle mental monsters to overcome their inner struggles. But Syah isn't always as successful dealing with people in the real world. When her best friend starts getting bullied at school, she completely misses the signs. Then when she tries to make things right by MindLinking with her friend's enemy without permission, things go terribly wrong. Syah finds herself outmatched and trapped inside the enemy's mind. But the experience teaches Syah what her friend is going through, and gives her the confidence to stand up to the bully and help her friend in the real world. This exciting adventure will capture readers' imaginations and keep them turning the page to follow Syah's latest journey inside the mind.
