Customer Reviews

Great book for computer obsessives ...

Cyber kdz kid Sanjeev finds himself a reluctant stowaway with his kid-sister Sarita on a posh cruise ship. But, it isn't Sanjeev who's in trouble. Sarita was kidnapped. And, the kidnappers are microchip smugglers as Sanjeev quickly finds out. But, Sanjeev needs the Cyber Kdz who are located around the world to give him a hand in pinpointing the smugglers and ... (well, you'll have to read the story.)The neat parts are a) Sanjeev's crashing the ship's network and getting Sarita and himself booked into a first-class cabin and b) Deeder's crashing the ship's maitainance and safety servers to cause all sorts of funny confusion.Good book

Sanjeev and the Kids crack another hi-tech mystery.

Sanjeev's sister, Sarita, has run away because she loves a man who her parents do not like. Sanj tracks her down aboard the Star of Asia, where her boyfriend is a crewman. They accidentally spend too much time aboard the ship, it starts to move! Sanj and Sarita are going on a cruise! Sanj decides to book them into a first-class room to enjoy their accidental vacation. After a more extensive search of the ship, they don't find Sarita's boyfriend. But they do find a huge smuggling ring involving over 15,000,000 dollars worth of computer chips. Can Sanj and the Kids, with their proven reputation to stop crimes, catch the crooks before the crew catches on?
