Eight Reasons: The Boy in the Bubble

 Timothy’s mental powers are limitless in this story that will keep you awake long past midnight.

 About The Boy in the Bubble:

Timothy Bergendorf suffers from so many potentially fatal allergies that he’s forced to live in a self-contained bubble. Greatly loved by his parents he must be protected from everything that might end his fragile life at the drop of a hat. Throughout his lonely childhood, nature compensates by giving him telekinetic and psychic powers.

     As he reaches puberty, his secret talents increase in power so he can travel the world in his mind. Using his power while juggling numerous cars in the air, Timothy suffers a ruptured hernia and is rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery.

     But the operation goes wrong, Tim awakens in agony, and the arrogant, incompetent surgeon can't help. Enraged, Timothy unleashes the full power of his ability—and no one in his path is safe.

 Our Review: Devotees of Stephen B King’s ability to keep his readers enthralled will adore this short contemporary morality tale as they read what happens when an infant is exposed to the vagaries of fate and medical mysteries, then how his frantic parents cope with his enforced disabilities. Having done all they can, sacrificed everything to give him a chance at ‘normal’, after his true character is revealed, they are horrified—as anyone would be. While some might see Timothy as a monster—fear not, there is a happy ending to this morality tale.

 Based on a scale of 1-5, Boy in the Bubble merits a 7.
