Brainwalker

One teen's incredible journey may just blow his father's mind...Fourteen-year-old Bernard thinks outside the box. The only problem is that neither his school nor his ultra-rational physicist father appreciate his unique ideas. When he reacts to a stressful situation at school by mooning the class, his suspension sends him straight to his father's workplace. After his frustrated father leaves him unattended, Bernard does what any teen would do: wander into the particle accelerator and accidentally get transported through a wormhole!It doesn't take long for Bernard to realize he's in deep trouble. Not only did the wormhole drop him in the middle of a civil war over a depleted resource, but the battle is actually taking place inside his father's brain. Bernard has one chance to save the dying side of his father's creative brain from the tyrannical left side. Can he use his outside-the-box thinking to save his father's life?Brainwalker is a young adult sci-fi fantasy novel that turns the world of neuroscience on its head. If you like incredible fantasy worlds, fast-paced entertainment, and the human mind, then you'll love Robyn Mundell and Stephan Lacast's amazing journey inside the brain."This story is full of high-stakes adventure, and it often excels in its imaginative and allegorical exploration of real-world issues" - Kirkus Reviews"Excellent story with well developed characters and an awesome setting. My students are currently participating in a Growth Mindsets. Can't wait for publication. It would totally coincide with our brainology studies... I couldn't put it down." - Pam B., ALA Librarian5 stars - "The authors have found a creative way to introduce the functions of the brain that's full of action, adventure, and suspense. This will be a popular book in middle grades and middle school boys will enjoy this one!" - Susan G., ALA Librarian"The descriptions of the various locations, creatures, and residents of the Brainiverse are both fun and intelligent. Bernard is an engaging protagonist." - Kirkus Reviews"This book grabbed me so thoroughly that I read it nonstop in three hours... It turned into a wild ride, while bringing me occasional flashbacks to Lewis Carroll's works and a book I read years ago called The Phantom Tollbooth." - Paul M."The tale is well-written and carries the reader along effortlessly through an imaginative civilization, introducing young readers to the difference between intuition and rationalization while keeping the story light and adventurous. Young people who enjoy reading stories like Juster's 'The Phantom Tollbooth' will enjoy this book." - Rowena L."I didn't imagine this witty, ironic, funny and educational book would become one of my 2016 favorite reads." - Alexia P."The idea was so new! I wanted to know how the author would exploit it. I found that the book was much more original and entertaining than some of the really famous contemporary YA books, and it could be a fun read even for adults (toward the end I really couldn't put it down, I needed to know how it ended!)." - Alessandra V."Mundell and Lacast have devised an ingenious plot using the tesseract concept found in 'A Wrinkle in Time' with the setting being the brain of the protagonist's father." - Douglas B. Educator"A fun way for kids/preteens to learn about science and the brain. The pictures are also really great and add a lot to the story" - Olivia F., Reviewer at Harvard Medical School"Teachers are always looking for ways to enhance scientific literacy and Brainwalker is the perfect vehicle to bridge the gap between exciting adventure and scientific inquiry." -Jennifer C., Educator"I loved the way the authors used simple brain concepts, yet weren't afraid of creating a fantasy...
