Product DescriptionFifthgrader Andrea discovers that her new glasses give her the power of mind control over family and friends, but her experiments in "improving" them have horrifying results.From School Library JournalGrade 35 In this sequel to MailOrder Wings (Dutton, 1981), Andrea's Aunt Bets takes her to be fitted for new glasses. By accident they wind up in a place called Borderline Institute for Research into Psychic Phenomenaor BIRPP. Valerie Weirse, the strange researcher there, provides Andrea with equally strange glasses. Andrea discovers that by focusing hard, she can change people's personalities. At first she is excited by the "improvements" she can make in people, but then the changes do not go well. Eventually, Andrea learns that the glasses are only Weirse's first step toward giving everyone in the world psychic abilities. She destroys her glasses (which frees the people on whom she previously focused), and she and her cat Samuel Tail focus on Valerie, turning her from a parapsychology fanatic to a cat worshipper. The characters, Andrea excepted, tend to be rather onedimensional, but the plot moves rapidly, absorbing readers in Andrea's problems. The ethical conflict in meddling with other's personalities is keenly felt. Lisa Smith, Cold Spring Harbor Library, N . Y .Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc.
