Anna Goode
is your typical teenager living in Washington, DC. Smart and witty, she really
wasn’t like most girls. In fact, she was typically the odd-girl-out, especially
with the popular ones—the mean girls that tormented her daily. With an IQ
higher than Einstein, Anna was considered a genius but brandished a freak nerd
by the other kids. The only one that ever treated like a normal teen was her
best friend, Jake. Nonetheless, Anna’s smarts were both a blessing and curse.
And that was why she kept her talents hidden. With the scientist in her, she
secretly worked on these astonishing inventions, like sunglasses that could
snap pictures, a voice-amplifying watch, and a ring that shocks you with
electricity. What a cool kid!
Then some
Russian thugs attack her household, kidnapping her and her parents. She manages
to escape, but the head mobster will kill her parents unless she gives him what
he wants. Who else but a genius could steal a dangerous virus and build a weapon?
From that point forward, it’s a race against time.
Anna and
Jake make a great team—fearless spy kids. You may not think that a nerd like
Anna could hold her own against these mobsters, but she surprises you in the
end. That girl kicks a#@! Well, she was going to need every ounce of strength
against the Russians, which were bunch of scary dudes. I also liked that Jake
was there for Anna every step of the way, being her protector and having her
back.
As Anna gets
closer and closer to the climactic end, she has to make a choice. Can she risk
others by finishing this assignment? And, if she doesn’t, can she sacrifice her
parents to save the world? Sacrifice the few to save the many?
Well-written
and captivating, this action-packed tale is exciting from the very start. Nice
cover design!
