Blurb:
Ava wants the one
thing she knows isn't real.
Her life.
Ava knows Earth doesn't really exist - it's just a game in a
certain frequency of awareness. No big deal, you make your human replica and
play.
From a planet of crushing uniformity where minds communicate
telepathically, Ava's thoughts are dominated by an irrefutable correctness. But
inside her game's current human on Earth, she notices no one can detect her
thoughts - no matter how heretical. Ava decides to hide deep in the game and
live as the girl she appears to be. Forever.
But when tragedy strikes her school, Ava believes planet
Tarvana's most dangerous mind has discovered her treason.
Jolted from cozy suburbia, Ava's will to exist in the world
she chooses follows eternally-active thoughts to other centuries. America's
brutal days of slavery burst through to her modern life and expose the lies on
which planet Tarvana was founded, lies the dominant thought-caste will kill to
keep secret. And Ava's own mind may be forced to conform and end her beloved
time as a human.

My Review:
Mind Girl will pull you into its depths from the prologue
never letting go until the last page has been read. Mind Girl covers so many
topics and genres it is mind blowing.
The story and the characters explode off the pages right
into your mind giving you so much to think about and may even open your mind to
a whole new world.
Mind Girl is about a girl, Ava who wants so badly for her
life to be real but she knows it’s not as she is only playing a game. You see
Ava comes from a planet called Tarvana where everyone there comes to Earth to
play a game which allows them to pretend that they are human and live on Earth.
The way the game is played is that Ava replicates her character/avatar/human
player and she becomes the player. She can also replicate other things she may
need or want like candy, clothes, money ect.
Mind Girl has been one of the most imaginative stories I
think I have ever read. The plot/story is brilliantly written and so out of
this world amazing. I have to give kudos to the author with keeping so many
characters and the plot together, awesomely done.
I understand the time travel and how it fit into the story.
I understand how the Tarvana were playing a game but when I was reading Mind
Girl I also got this feeling of reincarnation, alien invasion, role playing and
of being like a puppet on a string kind of deal wondering who was controlling
the strings or who the creator is.
It reminded me of that old movie Where Have All the People
Gone? where all the people disappear after a major disaster hits Earth and
another movie called Gamer where a prisoner plays a game and his
character/avatar is controlled by someone else and a little bit of the Left
Behind movies and books where people also disappear leaving behind their
clothes and jewelry or whatever they may have has on them at the time.
If you are into movies like Where Have All the People Gone?,
Gamer or the Left Behind series then you are going to love Mind Girl. Once you
pick it up you won’t be able to lay it down until the very end. One click your
