A teen programmer at a school for geniuses must join forces with a boy she can't remember to stop a hacker from deleting their memories in Shana Silver's action-packed YA debut, Mind Games.
Arden sells memories. Whether it's becoming homecoming queen or studying for that all important test, Arden can hack into a classmate's memories and upload the experience for you just as if you'd lived it yourself. Business is great, right up until the day Arden whites out, losing fifteen minutes of her life and all her memories of the boy across the schoolyard. The boy her friends assure her she's had a crush on for years.
Arden realizes that her own memories have been hacked, but they haven't just been stolen and shared...they've been removed. And, she's not the only one: her mysterious crush, Sebastian, has lost ALL of his memories. But, how can they find someone who has the power to make them forget everything they've learned?
"It's a YA Michael Crichton novel, minus the 100-page master class intro on quantum mechanics, biotech, and string theory.... Mind Games is an absolute blast. If you are a fan of Memento or Strange Days, this one's definitely for you!"
