Trackers, Book 2

Written by Patrick Carman

What an interesting book. This is book 2 in Patrick Carman’s Trackers series. I basically starts up where book 1 left off, and seeing as I had not read book 1 I was kind of lost to start with. But it didn’t take long to catch up. This is a very up-to-date book that the students will love. It is all about computers, spying, hacking, and friendships! And to top it all off it is interactive with a website. At the end of each chapter there is a password for a website and a video to watch that is an important part of the story. Although if you don’t have online access it also has the script in the book to read. It was great to watch these videos! You were able to see what the characters looked like, you could see what the scenery was like. And you could feel and see the suspense in the characters. I would definately recommend this book for 4th grade on up. I loved it.
