A home for troubled children sets up a group home for four
exceptional children.  Here they interact with themselves and the
world (through the Internet.)  They realize that they are connected
without the machines - having shared dreams and reading each
others thoughts.  The group is especially sensitive to world violence
which continues to grow.  In fact there is a major terrorism attack
in the book.  Will the institution which set up the group home put
up with the strange goings on at the group home?  Will this group
of exceptionally connected children be able to effect what
happening in the world?  This 250 page book is very thought
provoking and is not for all students but for the ones who are
interested in the human mind, ESP, world peace, etc. it will be a
perfect match.
