Mark Twain Nominee
Fun fantasy about a new energy source you can control with happy thoughts. We could all use a little of that right now!
(from jacket cover)
Christina lives in an old stone mansion on the edge of a forest surrounded by barbed wire, and electrified fence, and signs that read TRESPASSERS WILL BE BOILED. High about them looms the Starkian Mountain Ridge, and deep within the forest is the laboratory where her mother was blown to bits when Christina was just a baby.
Christina's father, the head scientist at Loompski Labs, knows just how dangerous the world can be. So he keeps his daughter safe at home and forbids her to talk to the very interesting orphans down the road. But when an orphan by named Taft talks to her, whispering of a secret tunnel, Christina forgets about safety and helps him escape. Soon she and Taft discover that there is far more to the orphanage, Loompski Labs, and the mystery of her mother's supposed death than she ever suspected...
