Product Description

Product Description
In 2012 - Britain is gripped by Olympic Games fever, the world has a climate crisis, and his twin sister is an Olympic swimming sensation, but 13-year-old Jack Donovan has something much more worrying on his mind. A sinister face from Jack's nightmare has appeared as a game icon on his computer and he is convinced a superior intelligence is responsible. The supposedly simple computer game becomes hypnotic and draws him in, totally. Someone or something is playing mind games...Hiding out in the safest place in the UK - London's Olympic Village - Jack is fighting a force committed to global destruction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, 20 Sep 2007
By KT (Worcestershire, UK) - See all my reviews
Fantastic!
At last we have the answer to global warming, but do we really want aliens involved in our planet? You also have to read it to find out whether Sophie Donovan achieves a medal at the 2012 Olympics - after all she is only 13. Beware though DO NOT click on icons on your computer, if you didn't put it there yourself, you might start something you don't want to finish.I don't want to give anything else away, but I couldn't put it down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Olly's Olympics, 7 Nov 2007
Olympic mind games has a very interesting cover. Unlike most stories,
when the beginning is a little boring, this book glues you in!
The middle is full of mystery, making it impossible to put the book
down. I think the idea of having a universe in the shape of loads of
tangled up mobius strips like elastic bands is really cool.
It's very exciting when Jack goes into the Olympic village
pretending to be someone else, and you never know when he might be
found out. I also like the idea of Sophie and Jack having a link,
although I feel sorry for Sophie who was stopped in her race by it.
The ending is very scary, how Zavorus, in his disguise wipes Sophie's
mind, and would have got away with it all. I nearly thought he would!
This is a great book, and I'm looking forward to reading the next in
the Donovan Twins series!

5.0 out of 5 stars A medal winning novel!, 27 Jan 2008
By I. Brandon (Essex) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If writing was an Olympic sport, then the author deserves a medal. This is creative writing at its best: full of imagination and suspense mixed with a grounded story of everyday family life. This isn't just for children.....readers of every age will find this an engaging and entertaining book. As we count down to London 2012, Robert Ronsson shows us how we can be inspired by the event and how proud we can be of the spirit created. Can't wait to read about future adventures of the Donovan twins!
