A review by sumayyah_t
Genius Squad by Catherine Jinks

3.0

Phineas Darkkon is dead, Prosper English is in jail, but Cadel Piggot is still adrift in the sea of humanity, grounded only by his best friend, Sonja. When the teens are approached with an offer to join an illegal hacking ring that promises a hefty payday, they can't resist... but things are not always what they seem to be. A fitting sequel to Evil Genius; my rating takes into account the unhappy treatment of Sonja in this book. Her condition (she has cerebral palsy) is constantly mentioned on, as well as used as a running commentary on how bad some people have it in this world. Also, the constant reminder that she is Cadel's "best friend".
