Hacker


I loved this book. It's a YA novel about a girl, Nyah who is a prodigy hacker and in order to get hired by a big corporation, she hacks into their system. Once she presents the CEO with their own info, they hire her to fix their problems.

She and her friend hacked into Blakbox system and end up in a heap of trouble. The files they hacked ended up being illegal, so they sent a henchman to kill the girl.

At the same time, one her good friends, who also happens to be a genius, has advanced brain cancer and is trying to invent a machine to hack into his brain in hopes of changing the hard wire in there to fix the cancer. I know, this sounds a little dumb. Trust me, it's not.

It has very technical medical terminology and hacking terminology, so I got a little lost in that. But, that's part of what makes it a great book. The science fiction is believable because of all the details.

It's appropriate except, there is some violence. Nothing that a mature 4th grader can't handle.

Overall, a great book and I highly recommend this quick read.
