A fast-paced mystery that delves deep into the world of computers and how genius students operate them.  When Arden realizes that her little money making side line is compromised she needs to find out why memories are disappearing.  The story will draw in readers but at time is choppy and confusing as we accompany the heroin through her crisis in school and lab.  Is Arden a positive force or does her dishonest behavior make her a negative character?

Hand this book to gamer teens and to science fiction readers.  Mature middle school readers will appreciate having Mind Games on the shelf of their media center. Librarians in areas that experience frequent book challenges might consider the romantic content.  Public libraries with YA science fiction collections will want to purchasing this book.
