BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE

APPEALS TO: SEVERAL

Middle schooler Carter is more interested in watching the latest viral video than keeping an eye on his younger brother Martin hurling down the ski slope.  Bad call - now Carter has two broken legs and nothing to do but play on his computer. Which leads him to hacking into the traffic cameras around town and then hacking into private businesses cameras, as he finds out that life in his dinky little town is more exciting than he ever thought. That can’t really be a red panda pawing through the garbage cans? Then Carter decides to borrow his mother’s drone that she uses for her professional photography - the static cameras just can’t show him the details he needs to crack the puzzles that his town is hiding.

Korman brings his signature humor and boy antics to his latest. Sure to be read by kids who have found Korman.  Includes a first love interest, a best friend in crime, and plenty of hijinks.

Cindy, Middle School Librarian, MLS
