Double Digit by Annabel Monaghan
3.0
Double Digit by Annabel Monaghan is the sequel to A Girl Named Digit. This series stars Digit a girl with an extreme ability to figure out codes and numbers. Digit is a new student at MIT and trying to be just like any other student. Unfortunately her computer is being traced and she's kidnapped. Will her math and code breaking skills be able to save herself and the world.
This book is entertaining but the main character is frustrating. She acts like a spoiled twelve year old crying and having tantrums over everything. The romance is written in a way that makes you want to shake the heroine for being such a dolt instead of wanting to root for it. Finally the villain is absurdly cartoonist and Digit obviously is going to solve whatever the problem is saving everyone. If this was a book with a twelve year old main character this all would have made sense and it probably would have worked as a basic chapter book. But instead the main character is in college and attending parties with alcohol while acting like a spoiled kid.
Appropriateness: This book is short and a quick read. There is alcohol use and the main character is obsessed with her romantic relationships. The book reads like it was written for eleven year olds but the content is more appropriate for older readers. I suppose I'd recommend this book for twelve and thirteen year olds. Readers who like spy novels and are looking for a quick read.
