Gr 7 Up—Jake Lukin has a secret talent: if he holds an object that belongs to a person, he can instantaneously "tunnel" to that person—envisioning them physically, pinpointing their location, seeing what they see, feeling what they feel. After Jake reveals his skill at a high school party, he quickly finds himself on the run from government agents who would harness his talents for their own purposes. This YA novel is a heart-racing thriller set at full throttle from the opening page, and it never decelerates. Fans of Cory Doctorow and Anthony Horowitz will consume this title with a passion and will excitedly anticipate a sequel.—Leah Krippner, Harlem High School, Machesney Park, IL
Jacob can "tunnel" into anyone's mind by touching an object the person once possessed. Discovered by the government, he's manipulated into becoming an asset and, after attempting to work in secret from home, eventually locked away. The drama of balancing regular life with government-controlled tunneling doesn't fit well with the extreme twists that propel the book's latter half, though both provide solid entertainment.
