DON'T TURN AROUND by Michelle Gagnon
DON'T TURN AROUND by Michelle Gagnon is being talked about as THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO for teens. Gagnon, known for her adults novels, seems pretty comfortable writing for teens. If you are a teen looking for adventure involving a couple of tech savvy teen computer hackers, then I definitely suggest getting your hands on this one.
Peter is a rich kid who wants for nothing, except maybe the love of his mostly absent parents. Busy with their own lives, their idea of parenting is to throw money in their son's direction rather than spending quality time with him. Peter has learned to cope and entertain himself by becoming a expert computer hacker with a following he calls the ALLIANCE. Along with the help of other talented hackers, he has been responsible for breaking into and even taking down quite a few corporations.
Noa is sixteen and has never known a normal life. She has spent most of her life bouncing from one foster home to another. Incredibly intelligent, Noa is a self-trained hacker who uses her talents to beat the system and gain her independence from the impersonal world of foster care.
When the story begins, Noa wakes up on a table in an empty warehouse. She has no idea how she got there or how much time has passed. All she knows is that she has a small incision in her chest and no memory of what took place.
Fellow hackers, Peter and Noa connect online when Peter asks Noa for help. His life is being threatened by a corporation known as AMRF. Can Noa use her skills to find the information that can protect him or will her experience in the warehouse mean she is already at risk from the corporation herself?
DON'T TURN AROUND is a high tech thriller with enough twists and turns to satisfy any adventure lover.
