Neal Shusterman strikes me as an original, thoughtful author. I read The Eyes of Kid Midas hoping it would be as good as Full Tilt and I was not disappointed. In this story, 7th-graders Kevin and Josh climb a mountain while on a school camping trip. At the top they find a very unusual pair of glasses, and when Kevin puts them on he realizes that they give him the power to make things magically appear. When they get home, Kevin and Josh go shopping, using the glasses' power to conjure up a whole houseful of cool stuff. Then things start to go wrong, like when the storm that Kevin created back in the mountains starts advancing toward town. This book is funny but also exciting and thought provoking. It's a good one to recommend to reluctant readers.
