Author’s Comments
What an exciting series! Though it’s geared primarily to boys through Zonderkidz 2:52 Soul Gear tie-in, this series is fun for everyone. Filled with technological adventure, mystery, humor and sports, this is one of the funnest books I’ve ever written.
Secrets
- When I first completed this book, it was about Matt and his best friend, Veronica, who lived next door. After focussing more on the 2:52 aspect for guys, I booted Veronica and brought in Lamar, Gill and Alfonzo. Veronica ended up becoming the intriguing Isabel.
- What happens in the football game in chapter one actually happened to me. I was the “secret weapon.”
- Matt’s first encounter with Alfonzo is based upon a short story I once wrote called, “Who’s the Stranger?”

I’ve just finished ‘Reality Shift’. WOW!!! This book takes off. Matt’s laptop is a tool that has to be used. And as a tool can be used wisely or foolishly, so Matt and his friends can have many exciting adventures (and many ‘teaching moments’ for us parents). Well done Chris, not just a tecno-gimmick, but a well thought out device to train our kids with. THANK YOU! — Laird, England

Just wanted to let you know that my nine-year-old who isn’t much of a reader, read the first laptop book in less than two days! Thanks so much for the great books. He showed me the code of ethics at the end. He’s already starting book #2! — Tricia, Montana

I really like your book. It’s really cool and it’s got lots of action in it.
They’re the best books I’ve ever read. I really enjoyed them and can’t wait to read more.
I’m glad you took the time to make these cool books.

I have two daughters, ages 9 and 8, and if you ask them who their favorite author is, they quickly declare, “Christopher Maselli.”
They got hooked on his good writing by reading the Superkids novels (also great–check them out!) As a family, we’ve enjoyed all of those. And, now, we have another series to enjoy.
While these laptop books are geared for boys, my girls love the first two that are currently available. So, buy them! You won’t be sorry. They are funny, action-packed and meaningful. We can’t wait to read more. — Michelle, Texas

Wow! This is better than good! God is so evident in your writing. It’s not “hit me in the head with a 2×4″ religious verbage, but the message is there in an exciting, challenging way.
The humor is there. The characters are well-drawn. It’s age appropriate. It’s creative. I could go on and on.
Love the code of honor. Can’t wait to read anything you write.
