Martel follows a brilliant teenage girl as she races across D.C. to
decode the clues her father left behind, which may just be the key to
saving the country from a devastating tragedy.
Mia Hayes has
peaceful plans for the summer—find a part-time job at a coffee shop and
work on her college applications. Those plans are shattered one night
when government agents arrive unannounced at her home seeking something
they believe her father has taken. When the dust settles, her mother is
dead and her father is gone, a fugitive on the run.
Three weeks
later, and still reeling from her father’s betrayal, Mia spends her
seventeenth birthday at a protest in the heart of D.C., where she meets
Logan, a rebellious and charming hacker. Just as she’s enjoying her
first happy moment since the night her world exploded, a voicemail from
her father arrives to upend everything she believed about her family,
her past, and what really happened that night three weeks ago. Even
more, the voicemail hides another encoded message inside which, once Mia
solves it, sets her and Logan off on a mission from her sleepy suburb
straight into the heart of the federal government.

deadly attack.
In this non-stop thrill ride, the reader has the
chance to test their own codebreaking skills alongside Mia, lending an

action, romance, and life-changing revelations.
MY REVIEW-
5 STARS
MIA and her family what surprises Mia had in store about herself and her family, the revelations will rock her world. As will, the revelations about the enemies of America right inside of America and our governments.
Her father told her, " Trust no one", before he ran off on her ! Great advice but also hard to do especially at first. She meets Logan,a young man about her age who there is an almost instant connection. But can she really trust him ? That's a question I also asked myself throughout the story more than once. Does he have a secret agenda ?
The codes were great, intriguing even. I was glad because at first I worried that I wouldn't like the story because I really don't like those kind of puzzles. Loved how it was shown and explained. One clue led to another clue and so one. Mia remembered how her father often, said, Everything is something ! That is one of the things that helped her push through. And it was even more dangerous that her father had warned it would be. I liked learning more of the histories and myths about America. And how Surrett and Powell are just the face of that evil within and behind a society in the Government.
Brilliant writing and Brilliant fleshing out the people in the story especially Mia and her see-sawing emotions as she runs for her life.
I liked the ending sentence: "It was time for her discover who she could be."
