Something about the writing style reminds me of Lemony Snicket, fans will likely enjoy this tale. The narrator is almost conversational with the reader, calming walking us through harrowing events. Suggested for grades 3 .
I read another book by this guy called Tomorrow Code, which I also liked. You can definitely see some common themes in the two books, but they are different enough to still be interesting. Fans of Little Brother and For the Win by Cory Doctorow will love this book. It's action and adventure for computer geeks!

Tomorrow Code was really interesting science fiction that takes place in current times or the very near future in New Zealand. I was especially impressed with the three main characters. With such a complicated and cool plot, it would have been easy to put less emphasize on well-developed characters - but these characters were very real people, and I'm fascinated by the ideas that they struggled with in this book.… (más)
