Mina Cortez: From Bouquets to Bullets by Katherine Perkins, Jeffrey Cook
5.0
It's the future and Mina Cortez is about to turn 18. All she wants is to become a ballerina. However, genetics dictates she won't cut it as a ballerina. Therefor, when she receives her job chip she's not surprised to learn that she'll be working in her parents floral shop. What she doesn't expect, is to be working for the Secret Police on the sly.
Once Mina is chipped it's non-stop action as Mina must try to prove her friends innocence and not screw up too badly. With the help of her other friend and her "undead" Chevy (aka a car from the 2000's that doesn't meet the standards of the cars of Mina's day) they must solve the mystery and save the day.
This is a fun action packed read. Even though the main character is a girl, I think even boys would like this book a lot. There are some threads left unraveled so that Jeffrey Cook can expand on the story with a sequel, and I hope he does. It does not however end on a deep cliffhanger, so readers can be pacified while we wait for Mr. Cook to write the next book.
