Books with author Mona Thompson

Justin McLeod's life has taken a turn for the worse. Small for his age and in his first year of high school, Justin's only friend has become a bully and harasses him at every turn. But Justin has a secret. He feels no pain from the punches and shoves that come his way and, at his mother's request, must pretend to be normal even though he wants to fight back. A mysterious message on his computer sends him in search of knowledge about the legendary Titans. While at the local library, he is confronted by a frightening group of men who follow him and attack his home. Justin must escape, but there seems no way out and leaving his ailing mother behind is something Justin does not want to do. But Justin's mother and a family friend urge him to get to a place of safety; a sanctuary where he may, perhaps, learn more about his strange gift and it's connection with the long-dead Titans.

Fourteen year old Justin McLeod has learned that he is a Titan, born five thousand years after the mythic race disappeared. Justin escapes from unknown forces to Sanctuary, a huge, hidden base where other teens like himself have taken refuge. There he begins to learn about his race's past, why he and the other young Titans have appeared at this moment in history and about his powers and how to use them. But other Titans have also come into the world; rebels who are bent on world domination. They see Justin and the new Titans as a threat to their plans. They attack Sanctuary, but thanks in part to Justin's powers are driven back. Soon after, Justin learns that a family friend, Wilson, who originally helped him escape to safety, is being held captive by government forces. So he and his new friend, Aaron, leave the protection of Sanctuary on a quest to save him. However, they are tricked by their enemies, trapped along with six other new Titans and forced to use a mysterious Gate to get back to Sanctuary. Now they find themselves stranded on the lowest level of this gigantic complex, cut off from all aid and facing a journey through the darkness toward the distant top level and possible safety. But what hope do these young Titans have? Even if they survive the unknown perils that await them, one thing is certain. The renegade Titans now control Sanctuary.
