I enjoyed this one even more than I thought I would. Recognizing that I am absolutely not the target audience, it was still a fun little mystery/thriller. If you have a little that likes puzzles and codes, smart heroines, and a teeny touch of PG romance, they will love this book. Huge bonus points for the interactive parts (easily skipped if you don't want to play). A couple of them had me stumped!

Codebreaker, the debut novel by Jay Martel (the pen name of husband and wife writing duo Andy Bennett and Katy Helbacka), is an engaging and inventive thriller. While geared toward a teen/young adult audience, the novel will certainly appeal to adult readers - I simply could not put it down. Mia is a rising high school senior who is looking forward to a relaxing summer break. Instead, her world is shattered when government agents invade her home in search of something they think Mia's father has stolen. In the blink of an eye, Mia's mother is dead, Mia's father goes on the run, and Mia herself will soon be in danger. Mia soon teams up with hacker (and potential love interest) Logan, following a trail left by her father all over the nation's capital - chasing down clues, cracking codes, and evading shadowy government figures - to uncover the truth. I absolutely loved the interactive component of the novel - the reader has the opportunity to codebreak alongside the protagonists. Think of National Treasure x Dan Brown x The Night Agent. Highly, highly recommend, and can't wait to see what's next for Martel.

great book and very intriguing. I loved the problem solving and figuring out what happens. The clues were good at ending the story
