Elijah & Elisha Springfield are about to find out. A runaway shows up with his mind almost erased. He doesn't "know" anything, except that he was at some place called Nightmare Academy - a place that the thought of obviously terrifies him. The Veritas Project goes undercover to find out the truth behind this strange situation. Elijah & Elisha wind up getting a little closer than they'd intended though. Trapped on the campus with no way of escape, no means of communication with the outside world, and no one knowing where they are, the Springfield kids have to find a way to survive in the midst of this nightmare. One teacher says "It's all about who has the power. And I have it." Another says "It's all up to you. You decide what you want. That makes it right." The result: read and find out. :-) | Extra Notes: | Nightmare Academy is the 2nd book in the Veritas Project series. It's about a family of 4, investigators who work from a Biblical worldview, determined to uncover the truth in situations. Nightmare Academy explores the modern idea of no ultimate truth. Alot of people today say that right and wrong should be left up to the individual. Frank Peretti lays out a picture of what that could look like if you could truly get everyone to believe it. This book is powerful, well written, and suspenseful. You won't want to put it down! I highly recommend it for all teenagers, and adults as well! | Reviewer: | J:-)mi | Recommendation Scale: | 5 |
