Greetings all you tech-savvy readers. How many of you have read Patrick Carman's Trackers? Oh. My. Gosh. I just finished the first book and can't wait to read the next one!
Trackers is about 4 kids -- Adam, Finn, Emily, and Lewis. They're trackers. Trackers, you ask? Trackers are the opposite of hackers; trackers try to protect the public from Internet criminals. And as we all know, there are Internet criminals out there. Have you really considered that in this, our 21st century world of tech everything, each and every one of us leaves a digital footprint? You may think you don't, but you do. The trackers in Carman's books are tech-savvy kids with some really awesome video cameras and some unbelievable coding (and decoding) skills. And these 4 kids find themselves entangled in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse with Shantorian, the world's most dangerous hacker. Of course the further they dig, the more they realize that things aren't always as they seem.
This is a great book -- full of suspense from the very opening pages where we find Adam being interrogated by someone in an official capacity. We're not quite sure what has happened. Has Adam been arrested? What's happened to the other 3 trackers -- Finn, Emily and Lewis? I'll say no more because I don't want to ruin this for you readers!
But wait, there's more! To make the reading experience even more real, there is a website where you can complete missions, challenge your friends, and play games.
Seriously...read this book! You won't be sorry.
