Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Dr. Hatch and his loyal Electric Children have seized control of the E.S. Ampere -- the super yacht the Elgen use as their headquarters. With the Elgen fleet now under his control, Hatch heads back to Peru to pick up his army and then begin his quest for global domination. Michael will have to free his friends then find a way to stop Hatch, but the organization behind the mysterious voice that has guided him to this point has been compromised. Hatch knows Michael and the Electroclan are coming. And he's ready for them. Can the Electroclan win the battle of the Ampere? Or has Michael's luck finally run out?530LAccelerated Reader ARAccelerated ReaderAccelerated Reader ARReading Counts RCAccelerated Reader AR

Unwilling to accept the prognosis of lifelong mental illness and repeated hospitalizations, Beth fought to uncover the cause.

With the battle lines firmly drawn, Beth searched until she found two cutting-edge doctors who answered that question with a definitive yes. Together, they cured Sammy. This book is part manifesto, part medical mystery, but is finally the empowering story of a mother's determination to save her son, take on the medical establishment--and win.--From publisher description.
