MindQuakes by Neal Shusterman

Description: An autistic child inhabits a world of silence; he neither hears nor speaks. Yet he has a remarkable talent: he can paint pictures. Not ordinary pictures, but works of art so realistic that one can literally climb through the canvas into the world beyond. Impossible? Not in the realm of MindQuakes- a mysterious corner of the universe, somewhere beyond both reality and fiction where all things are possible.

In "The Soul Exchange," A high school girl with more vanity than good sense pays the ultimate price when she trades in her face like a used car, for a face even more beautiful.

In "Terrible Tannenbaum," A family is shocked to find that their Christmas tree has a mind of its own... and its definitely not in a holiday mood!

And is there really something deadly living in the murky waters of "Ralphy Sherman's Jacuzzi of Wonders?"

Nine tales, all terrifying, funny, chilling, offbeat, and each one weirder than the last, make MindQuakes an unforgettable glimpse into the world that lies at the very edge of imagination.

But beware: Once the first mind-tremor begins to rattle you, there's no turning back.
