Fifteen-year-old Lexi Ames is smart. No, really. Like, super-duper smart. In fact, she\u2019s the only one who successfully decodes a mysterious message coming from outer space. Unfortunately, decoding it also unlocks it, and sets it loose on humanity\u2019s Earth-bound infrastructure. From there, hilarity ensues as Lexi and the scientists scramble to undo what she\/they have done, and all the while, Lexi\u2019s mother is chiding her to clean her room when, seriously, the fate of the world is at stake.<\/p>\n
This was a fun, comedic romp aimed at readers aged 13-18\u2014not my usual reading fare. But it was light, entertaining, and definitely a step outside my norm! Puns\u2014such as hacker groups named MoxyOron, Lord MoldyWart, and BreadPirateRoberts\u2013abound, as well as plenty of teen angst and drama. I also couldn\u2019t stop laughing over the fact that the \u201cbad guys\u201d are, in part, robots who all look like Elvis.<\/p>\n
Another thing I loved about this book is the fact that the author made the main character a super-smart girl. We don\u2019t see nearly enough of heroes like that, especially in books directed at that age group, and we need more of them. Not only that, but the story emphasizes the importance of working together, despite differences, to solve problems that are bigger than any one person, as well as standing up for what you think is right, even when\u2014no, especially when\u2014it\u2019s hard to do.<\/p>\n
Lexi isn\u2019t the only POV character, though. Her mom Vivian, and her mom\u2019s best friend Rolo (who happens to have an Elvis phobia), pepper the pages and drink many Cosmopolitans. But don\u2019t let them fool you. Sometimes, big help comes from unexpected sources. (No spoilers!)<\/p>\n
Definitely worth a read, especially if you\u2019re looking for something light, upbeat, and a bit on the wacky side to make you laugh. Recommended.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
