About Me

I'm the school librarian at G.S. Lakie Middle School. As you can see - me, reading and comfy chairs go way back. I still enjoy Asterix and many other graphic novels. My main reason for blogging is for reviewing books for the students and anyone else that might be interested in YA literature.

Trackers by Patrick Carman


Trackers by Patrick Carman
I am once again wowed by Patrick Carman and where he is taking his readers, mystery adventure high-tech suspence captured in a vook that has readers - reading as fast as they can so that they can watch the next video clip to help piece together the puzzle. He's the author of Skeleton Creek and Ghost in the Machine. I think is will be another huge hit at our library and I can't wait to tell you more about it.
If you liked the Alex Rider series or The Cherub series or Little Brother or Skeleton Creek - I think you will become an instant fan of Trackers.
Here's the summary.
In the 21st century landscape of bits and bytes, everyone leaves a digital footprint... even the most advanced cyber criminals. And that's where the Trackers come in. Four tech-savy kids armed with high-tech video cameras and esoteric coding skills, the Trackers can find almost anyone, anywhere. Told through a collage of video, text and websites, Tracker #1 follows Adam, Finn, Lewis and Emily as they become entangled in a high tech, high-stakes game of cat and mouse with Shantorian the world's most dangerous hacker. At least that's who they think they're after...
As the four dig deeper into the shadowy world of online crime, they soon learn that things aren't always as they seem.
Here's a teaser from the author and the book trailer.
