Reviews
Lucy's brother Hamish started acting really weird when a computer zapped him. Lucy's parents thought he was just growing up but Lucy knows that he had swapped brains with the computer. I liked Brain Drain because it was interesting and not long to read. I had to choose a book for silent reading and I saw it and thought it
looked fun. My favourite character is Lucy because she was funny and wouldn't give up easily.

My favourite character in Brain Drain is Lucy because she helps her brother lots. She has persistence. It's about a boy who swaps brains with his computer. Like most books, there is a lesson to be taught - never spend too much time on the computer, get fresh air. This book is suitable for readers 8 and over. I think it was absolutely super, super, excellent!
