Jeff Edmond is back with another collection of
stories from The Freakout Zone.
Like the original Freakout Zone (Vol. I), Volume
II offers more spooky, thoughtprovoking
tales of science fiction that will send a shiver
down your spine. Leave the light on tonight!
Uncle Alice
Thirteen year old Jonathan and his brainy
little sister Lynette go to spend a
summer with their Uncle Alice, a wealthy,
eccentric and reclusive scientist.
Lynette is excited by the library and
laboratory, while Jonathan is given all the
video game entertainment he could want. But
they soon find out their uncle is
into some pretty weird science.
The Wrong Mother Goose
When Helen’s little brother goes missing, she
decides to play detective. She
suspects a kindly but strange old lady in the
neighborhood who keeps chickens
and geese, and likes to tell stories to the
young kids. Everyone else thinks Helen's
crazy, but she refuses to give up and proceeds
with her own investigation. Helen
races to find her brother in time to save him
from whatever the kidnapper has in
store. But she risks becoming trapped herself.
The Lights
Twelve year old Evan knows what it’s like to
feel powerless. His father gambles
the family money away; his sister sells drugs.
He wants them to stop but they
won’t listen. Evan escapes to his dreams,
where power comes easily and Evan is
in control. It's when the world of dreams
bleeds into the world of reality that
trouble begins.
Talent Scouts
All fourteen year old Sam wants is to be the
first female pitcher on a major league
baseball team. The talent scouts are already
eyeing her, including one from a
university no one has ever heard of. When Sam
and her teammates read an
internet posting about aliens from outer space
living in their hometown, baseball
takes a back seat for the summer as they
attempt to find out the truth.
Way of Life
A poor kid living in the projects. A famous,
wealthy rap star. Different lives, both
good and bad. Which would you rather be? Be
careful what you wish for.
Now it’s time for you, once again, to
enter...The Freakout Zone.
