Noah Baker is trying to find a new normal after an
accident caused a traumatic brain injury and a complete loss of hearing. His
parents have done everything they could to make life normal after the accident.
With a new cochlear implant to help him hear again, he dreams of a new normal.
But normal is not in the cards. Noah realizes he can hear the thoughts of those
around him through his new device. This is how he learns how worried his
parents are about the cost of all of this and how his brother blames himself
for Noah's loss. When the doctor learns
what Noah's device can do, he is caught up in a government plan. He isn't the
only one. Lena, an amputee, has a new leg.
The government is using both of them.
They have been asked to use their new devices, which could put them and
their families in danger. Yet, at the same time, they have been asked to serve
their country under the guise of being ambassadors for a new organization that
puts disabled kids at the front of society.
I loved this story and can't wait to read its sequel, "Careful What
You Hear." This book is full of
technological advances and spy adventures. I think I loved this book because it
reminded me of Anthony Horowitz's Stormbreaker series. Anyone, young or old, who loves teens put in
adventurous situations will love this book.
