Kidzilla and Other Tales
(age 10+) by David Lubar spooky ... short stories ... science fiction Publisher comments: Don't bother looking for PsychoZone on a Map. It's not a place...but a state of mind where the worlds of reality and imagination collide. A place where a kid can wake up and have morphed into a giant lizard. Or where one can place a long distance phone call...to the future. Or where the monsters of your worst nightmares come alive, and where car trips that are sooo boring you think they'll last forever... In the PsychoZone. |
