Science & Fiction = Good

It is interesting that the last two books I have read have to do with science and fiction. These are different than Science Fiction which makes me think of outer space and aliens. No, these books have to do with things that are possibly being invented here on earth as we speak, things that could change lives or how we live. The first book is "Frozen in Time" by Ali Sparkes. The year is 1956 and Freddy and Polly are willing participants in their father's experiments of cryonic suspension, having their hearts frozen. Their father usually wakes them up two hours later. In 2009 Ben and Rachel are bored at their uncle's home until they find these two frozen children in an underground vault in the garden. You will want to know what happens next, how this has happened and why didn't their father wake them up.
"Dot Robot" by Jason Bradbury is a super exciting book about a young boy Jackson Farley, a digital genius, who is playing a video game when he is invited to a very special website. His super skills have attracted him to billionaire Devlin Lear, founder of top secret defence force MeX. Along with 3 other brilliant young gamers , his job is to fly state of the art robots around the world helping where needed...... or that is what it seems on the surface. Jackson discovers there is more to this than he anticipated and now he might be part of a huge crime.
Both good...one exciting.
