How many kids would like to be able to read minds? Imagine what it would be like to know whether your friend really likes you better than anyone else, or if the teacher is planning a surprise test. When Matt is bequeathed a strange crystal he’s amazed to discover it gives him the power to listen in on what people are thinking.
At first it seems fantastic, but with superpowers come responsibilities and Matt has to learn – and quickly – when is a good time to engage in a bit of mind-reading, and when isn’t. Typical of Pete Johnson’s writing, this has an exciting, fast-moving plotline that will keep the pages turning, and Matt is a thoroughly recognisable character, even in this extraordinary situation. Great fun.
Hi, I’m Matt, I’m just like any other boy. I’ve got a best friend (who I totally fancy, but she doesn’t know it!), an annoying sister (who totally knows she is, but doesn’t care!) and a friend called Mrs Jameson (who randomly left me something in her will, and totally knew the trouble it would cause!). So, yeah, I’m just like any other boy.

“Well, not all boys have those things.”
