Summer Reading Book





 DON'T TURN AROUND by: Michelle Gagnon




Sixteen-year-old Noa has been a victim of the system ever since her parents died. Now living off the gird and trusting no one, she uses her hacking skills to stay anonymous and alone. When she wakes up on a table in a warehouse with an IV in her arm and no memory of how she got there, Noa starts to wish she has someone on her side. Introduce Peter Gregory. A rich kid and the leader of a hacker alliance, Peter needs people with Noa's talents on his team. Especially after a shady corporation threatens his life for no uncertain terms. But what Noa and Peter don't realize is that Noa holds the key to a terrifying secret, and there are those who'd stop at nothing to muzzle her for ever.
        What i liked about my book is that it wasn't some stupid romance/action book. It was mainly focused on the computer hackers and it's mostly a thriller. If you like the book "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’s" you will like this book because the main character is just as smart, tough and complex as "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’s" main character. It is fast paced, nail-biting and suspenseful. It keeps you up reading. At first it focuses on Noa and Peter alone in their own world until Peter needs Noa's help. From their second meeting the story is about the both of them trying to figure out what the deal with this AMRF site is really about dodging and escaping dangers.
      Honestly, there was nothing i didn't like about the book besides the fact that Amanda, Peter's (ex)girlfriend, was a minor character that wasn't mentioned very much. it would have been interesting to see the interaction of Amanda and Noa


my article is about a 15-year-old who admitted into hacking NASA computers.

  1. This looks like an excellent book! I also never thought someone as young as the girl in the article could be able to hack into a big thing like NASA.

  2. This book looks really good! I definitely want to read it! I like books that has a lot twists and turns, and not your generic boy meets girl, boy falls in love. This is definitely not your stereotypical book like the Divergent Series or the Hunger Games. It looks like a good read! Girl power! :)
