Book Review By Phoenix Rye
Of Two Minds by Carol Matas and Perry Nodelman

The free spirited Princess Lenora is engaged, against her will, to the peace-loving Prince Coren. She can make whatever she wants to be real, and Coren can read minds. But when she jumps into an alternate world to escape her marriage and Coren follows her, they both find that they are no longer able to use their powers. For Lenora this news is offset by the handsome and charming Hevak who convinces her to be a part of his perfect world. But Coren sees through Hevak to the intolerant dictator that he really is, and when Lenora finally comes to her senses, she and Coren work together to bring back all the creatures that Hevak has exiled so that together, they can overcome his strength.
