Sara Martinez is a hacker. Despite being shuffled around the foster system for years and only having access to the ancient computers in the school library, she somehow hacked the New York City foster system and her current foster parents' bank to prove they are dishonest cheats. But now she's the one in trouble with years in juvenile detention and a computer ban hanging over her head.
That's when a man who calls himself Mother enters the picture. Not only is she off the hook for juvie, but she's suddenly in Scotland working as a spy for MI6! She's part of a covert team of juvenile spies, so covert only a handful of people at MI6 even know they exist. Each member of the team takes the name of their hometown: Rio, Paris, Cat (Catmandu), Sydney, and Sara become Brooklyn.
They have a high stakes mission in just a couple of weeks, so Brooklyn will have to learn fast. The rest of the team isn't exactly ready to trust her after what happened with the girl she's replacing. But no one really has a choice since the mission requires her hacking skills.
Before she knows it, Brooklyn is in Paris with her new team at an international youth summit trying to do well enough to stay in the competition without winning, hacking a rival team's computer to do the same, and trying to prevent a villain from unleashing a deadly virus. No big deal, for a team of elite spies, right?
James Ponti's new series promises to be good fun with an international twist. Is it realistic? Not in any way, but let that go and enjoy the ride! Fans of Alex Rider and Stuart Gibbs will enjoy this, too. Highly recommended!
