Product Description
Product Description
The Veritas Project team has a new assignment: To find the truth behind the mysterious disappearance of two runaways. Nightmare Academy is a great thriller with a realistic look at right and wrong. He was once a normal fifteen-year-old boy. He had a name, a family, a school, and a life-and he thought he knew something. But that boy, and that time, and that life, have become . . . nothing. His whole mind seems to have been erased. Theres no boy here anymore. No knowledge, no thought, no reason. Nothing but terror, endlessly repeating cycles of it, layer upon layer, in swirling sounds, images, and sensations. Now he only stares into nothingness and whispers two ominous words: Nightmare Academy. The Springfield twins-Elijah and Elisha-go undercover, posing as runaways. What happens next will keep readers on the edge of their seats as the twins end up in a strange academy where Truth is continually challenged, a gang-like war develops, and Elijah is taken to an ominous mansion from which no one has ever returned.

First Sentence
HIS MIND TOLD HIM, insisted, that he was running, putting one tattered, bleeding foot in front of the other-even though the ground did not move under his feet, turned when he did not, or inclined steeply upward though he saw no slope before him. Read the first page

I am a typical teen w/issues and found refuge in this book.,
By "apple_pie_06" (Sedro-Woolley, Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nightmare Academy (Hardcover)
You know, i read everyone else's reviews and laughed. Obviously, they were written by parents. The truth is, the point of Nightmare Academy was that no matter what happens to you or what situation you are put in, God is stable ground. He will always stand firm and when you need him, he will be there for you. The book is written for teens, not adults. The message is clear and instead of looking at it from a political/professional view, look through your faith. I LOVE the way it intertwines action and killer ability to use technology. Elijah and Elisha are 21st century action heroes. Frank Peretti, you are a gifted writer, talent in reaching a person's mind, and expanding a teens view of the world. I WANT MORE!!!!

I want more Veritas Project!,

This review is from: Nightmare Academy (Paperback)
Hey, all I can say is I WANT MORE!! But, the first book in this series, Hangman's Curse was the best. I personally thought that this book had the ending that was a little too perfect, almost like I saw it coming. The story in itself was incredible! Let me say that it is a rarity that I would rank ANYTHING Frank Peretti under 5 stars, but this is a slight exception. I really want to see more Veritas Project coming out. Either that or another fiction book. But this was an awesome book to say the least. Do it again, Frank!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READ for teens and their parents,
By
This review is from: Nightmare Academy (Hardcover)
What do you get when you take tolerance, toss in some individualism and a good helping of 'personal' truth??? The Answer..CHAOS!Frank Peretti addresses what happens to a group of teens (and adults) when they are thrust into the existent, yet non-existent, campus of Knight-Moore Academy (funded under a little known government education grant!) where there is no absolute truth -- there is only 'your truth' and 'my truth' which can both exist at the same time. For example, when one student 'steals' another's walkman, the 'thief' says they are only 'sharing' it (without the owner's permission). Seems harmless to some...except when a missing teen is finally found, but with no memory...and is later found dead! And when Elijah and Elisa go under cover to investigate, it seems they are going to loose their minds too...and maybe their lives! This book addresses the problem teens (and adults) face when society tells them that there is no one truth about issues they face. For example, God says to save sex for marriage; society says to have sex when it 'feels right'. I am the father of three children. I read this book before letting them read it, and I highly recommend it to my own kids, as well as all teens and their parents. Frank Peretti is a very gifted author and fills these pages with thrills and chills...and truth.
