Sam's talent for drawing figures coincides with an alarming series of 'hallucinatory' events which are linked to a Greek audio tape that becomes the catalyst for projecting her into other worlds where she experiences the bizarre figures of her own drawings coming to life. Through the multifarious worlds she 'visits', she experiences a wide range of characters and learns that the world is not as it seems, that there are other worlds out there. In fact she finds that the whole universe is full of amazing characters and untapped potential. She learns that absolute 'goodness' exists but that it needs to be tempered by common sense, that in the world we live in the concise use of language is just as important as being able to use computers and machines, and that having a special talent doesn't mean you have to forget everything else. After many trials she learns about betrayal, the need to share with and trust others, and experiences real terror before coming to understand the things that are really important.

Dark, uncanny forces begin to take over the land. Rowena and her friends see their freedoms being eroded as their society succumbs to a new breed of dominators, the Brain Changers. Can the small student group stand alone in their protests in a world rapidly becoming riddled with fear and suspicion? Dare they attempt to discredit a tyrannical and all-powerful government? The protest that begins so boldly brings death and destruction in its wake, but it is the selfless and courageous act of the young heroine who risks her life to foil a powerful and dastardly enemy that is its justification."A powerful read. I really cared about Rowena, Mel and their mates and wanted to keep on reading."--Sally Spedding, author and lecturer in creative writing, Leicester University"The Brain Changers is set in the technologically near future and the basic mood and thrust of the story is fantasy involving higher beings, magical interventions, and mystical philosophy. A good Young Adult story with well drawn characters."--Ian Watson, science fiction author and screenwriter of Speilberg's A.I. Artificial Intelligence
