April N Clark grew up in the country where here family raised all kinds of animals from cows, horses, and pigs to chickens and ducks. She has a love of country life and exploring and learning through outdoor play and adventure. Even as little girl she loved to write stories of all kinds. When she grew up and married her husband she was introduced to the world of science fiction and fell in love with the imagination and creativity of the genre. In her first book series for children she has married the love of both country life and science fiction together, complimenting some of the best of both worlds. Some of her hobbies include cooking, casual gaming with her kids, knitting extraordinarily average hat and scarves and lurking the isles of the used bookstore for her next read. She had a passion for science, learning new things, and spending time with her family.
April N Clark lives in Texas with her husband where she home schools her two children, and plays host to a menagerie of animals including dogs, cats, bearded dragons, chickens, bunnies, tortoises and the occasional mouse.
This is a fun book for middle-grade children, with two mischievous boys and an older sister who should know better. But when their objective is to get a horse into the virtual reality room to see how smart it is, any idea seems like a good one! I liked the futuristic element in the book, with teletransporters that take you anywhere you like in a matter of seconds - you can even go to the moon! Kids will love the space-age technology mixed with the age-old problem of finding a way of getting round Mum and Dad's house rules! A great story I recommend for all children.
