Hyperlinkz Book 1: Digital Disaster

This book is about Austin, Ashley, and a little beagle named Applet. It's exciting because you don't know what is going to happen next. While you read this you might learn about the Titanic and have a visit with the Apostle Paul. What's the mystery about that camera? Is Mr. FAQ a friend or foe? Will they be reunited and find the link back to Normal, Illinois?

HyperLinkz By Robert Elmer The book I read was "HyperLinkz Digital Disaster", the first book in the series. The book was written by Robert Elmer. The main characters are Austin and Ashley Webster and their dog, Applet, who live in Normal, Illinois. Another main character is Ms. B she lives in current time. At the beginning Austin finds an old camera. Then takes picture of his dog, Applet, and downloads it to the computer. Then applet disappears and Austin and Ashley try to find out where he has gone. When they cannot find Applet in present time, Austin takes a picture of Ashley and sends her through the computer to find their missing dog. Ashley finds out applet was on a shipwreck computer webpage. While looking for Applet on the shipwreck site she meets Ms. B is an intranaut with a PDA, who is trying to change history by erasing past events. Wile Ashley and Applet try to find their way back home, they also work on stopping Ms. B from changing history. Read it and figure out the rest of the story. If you like adventure this book is good for you. If I rated this book one through five, I would give it a five because it is very descriptive about the story. Another is it is interesting because it is about computers. I recommend this book.

This book speeds you from adventure to adventure as quickly as a click on a internet hyperlink. Ashley and Austin, sister and brother, chase their aunt's dog across cyberspace. Their encounters with the characters peopling the online sites are hilarious. There is a bit of learning in these encounters, but it doesn't hurt. It fact, you might not even notice the facts mixed in with the fun.

Digital Disaster, the 1st book in Robert Elmer's new "HyperLinkz" series, is sure to please kids and parents alike. When two kids, Austin and Ashley, find themselves as "internauts" zipping through hyper space, they are transported into the best history lesson available next to time travel - virtual historical reality. They learn about past shipwrecks, are thrown into the mystery of finding their way out of the internet, and get recruited into saving the world from a villainous woman who is attempting to blot out all Biblical truth from the internet. Kids will love the adventure, mystery, and modern techno style in which Robert presents this exciting voyage. Parents will appreciate the historical lessons taught with the emphasis on seeking and protecting absolute truth. Not a usual science fiction fan, I got caught up in the mystery and could not put this book down, until the cliff hanger at the end forced me to go and buy the next in the series, Fudge Factor!
