Arnie Carver and The Plague of Demeverde combines mystery, suspense, and imagination to create an enjoyable reading experience. Hang on, as you travel to the future. Thayne Davidson Miller III is about to learn about the world as he travels to the Island of Demeverde.

He changes his name to Arnie Carver, so he won't be recognized as the 'world's wealthiest kid.' In his former life, his only friends were his butler, Jacques Marquet, and his dog. Arnie is admitted into a school which accepts the most brilliant students with either aptitude, physical, telepathic, or empathic abilities. He is accepted because of his photographic memory. Arnie may be one of the brightest kids, but he is lacking in social skills. His new friends help him adapt to his new environment.

Can the plaque, which is affecting children in other parts of the world, have anything to do with Demeverde? The people of Demeverde don't think so, until one of Arnie's companions and fellow students comes down with the same symptoms.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a page turner from beginning to end. I loved the illustrations, which draw you right into the story. This book sells for a very reasonable price, for a hardcover book. The author is clever with his creation of Demeverde. He has futuristic inventions, a new game and people using mind over matter to balance on one finger.

You will enjoy Arnie Carver and wish to return to Demeverde for more adventures in the future.
