Flinkwater is a city similar to Silicon Valley in which most of the people are employed by a computer company. Those people are super smart and nerdy, as are their children. However in an attempted takeover, people are reduced to a catatonic state by watching the screen saver for the local school’s mascot. The founder and CEO of the town’s tech industry was actually the culprit. Hautman does a terrific job with the main character, Ginger, a 13-year-old girl. The dialog and self speak is snappy and funny, and goes off on tangents pretty much just like a 13-year-old girl. Kids will enjoy the humor and fast pace of the story.
