Star Wind

When Camden Douglas comes home from summer camp, she finds that nothing is as she left it. All her friends are no longer interested in anything except a strange boy who calls himself WT-3 and something called "The Game." Camden joins the group and plays The Game, but even as she is drawn into it she realizes that something is very wrong. Her friends are acting more and more like zombies, unable to speak English or think straight, and she feels vaguely as if something is being stolen from her. She only feels alert at night, when she has dreams about a Bronze Planet. Somehow, the dreams and The Game are connected... but how? I read this book when I was very young and, seeing it recently in the library, remembered it instantly. It is a fast-paced science-fiction adventure with a great main character and touches of humor. I found it enthralling.
