Adam Henderson is a computer genius. At 5, he took apart circuit boards the way other kids play with Legos. At 9, he had made a virtual fortune from online games, spending his money to design new surveillance cameras and firewalls. When he reaches middle school, Adam finds a crew of like-minded friends, and they stumble into tracking. Not tracking animals, but tracking criminals. Little do they know where it will take them.
This first book in a projected series, set in Seattle, tries to link interviews with video and other websites, but I found reading the book straight through to be more entertaining and less distracting. All of the content from the weblinks can also be found at the end of the book in appendices. This is an exciting start to the series; let's hope Carman will focus on the story in the book and leave off the attempt to draw people away from the book.
