    Review by: Lisa

Title:  A girl named Digit

Author:  Annabel Monaghan

Collection:  Teen Books

 

Farrah “Digit” Higgins may be going to MIT in the fall, but this L.A. high school genius has left her geek self behind in another school district so she can blend in with the popular crowd at Santa Monica High and actually enjoy her senior year. But when Farrah, the daughter of a UCLA math professor, unknowingly cracks a terrorist group’s number sequence, her laid-back senior year gets a lot more interesting. Soon she is personally investigating the case, on the run from terrorists, and faking her own kidnapping– all while trying to convince a young, hot FBI agent to take her seriously. So much for blending in . .

First time author, Annabel Monaghan, has created a fast moving and entertaining story from start to finish with A girl named Digit.  Farrah, nicknamed Digit, is likeable and real, with a refreshing and witty outlook that brings her to life on the page.  Readers who like to read about the adventures of a highly intelligent, otherwise normal teen or who would like a break from post-apocalyptic mayhem and zombie infestations will think this book is a winner.
