• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The building of the hadron collider was once big news, but now it is just part of the scenery for most of the community, until Airlie and other children start showing unusual gifts. Airlie uses her psi abilities to solve a number of mysteries and crimes at her school and in her neighborhood - and comes to the attention of Inspector Jonathan Humble of Minor Crimes.

Towards the end of the school year, Airlie gets two intriguing invitations: an offer of a scholarship to a new middle school with 'opportunity classes' in exotic subjects like Quantum Psychology, and a free place at a summer camp run by Inspector Humble. The two invitations and her emergent psionic talents are clearly connected, and Airlie can't resist the opportunity to learn more about her gifts and to meet others with psyq powers at the camp.

But Airlie ends up in a desperate race to rescue one of her new friends.

This story is set in the "Appearance of Magic" universe. This is an expansion and continuation (by popular demand) of the previously published short story "Sooty" (in Out of their Minds), and this educational edition includes appendices on Quantum Psychology and Brain Computer Interface for those interested in following up on the real science and technology that underlies the story.
