Mind Games by Jeanne Marie Grunwell is about a group of middle school students who choose to research ESP in their Mad Science Club. As a result of their research, the group wins $500 in the lottery! The story is told through newspaper articles, lab reports, and experiment reports. Each part is written through the eyes of a different character and all add their own personal perspectives and stories. By the end of the novel, the reader not only has a better understanding of paranormal activities, but also of each character, the ways they are completely different, but also how they find their similarities as a result of being part of this group.This was a quick read. I really liked the format of the story - being told through the voices of each character through lab reports and experiments. It makes me want to study ESP and even try some of the experiments! I loved the ways the author helped me get to know each character personally through what they wrote in their sections. A great story!!
