When bizarre nature sightings blast across the 31st century global networks, the race is on for a perceptive apprentice reporter to stop the reigning mega-conglomerates before it's too late.
From the first mention of Syncov (tm) it's easy to find the humor in this engaging story with an environmental message. Set in the far future with all sorts of technological developments, it's written in an easy to understand style and broken into short chapters, perfect for tiny spurts of reading time found on the subway or waiting for the bus. The hard working sixteen year old main character learns to trust her own intuition and lean on her network of friends and family to achieve the nearly impossible. An enjoyable read!

I sent this book to my niece for her birthday. She read it in a day and a half and loved it. She has sent me a couple emails about the characters. I need to read it so that I can figure out what she's talking about.
