The pace never slows down, and readers will be propelled through the pages as fast as Charlie travels down her favorite ski slope.Ĭons: Although Stuart Gibbs’ other series are popular with my fourth and fifth graders, I’m a little hesitant to recommend this for readers younger than fifth grade. Charlie occasionally presents as a bratty know-it-all, but then again, she does pretty much know it all, due to her astronomical IQ she also has a fun disrespect for authority that tweens are sure to appreciate. Pros: Stuart Gibbs fans will not be disappointed with his newest series starter.
Filled with non-stop action and narrow escapes, the story ends ambiguously for Charlie, leaving the door open for a sequel.
In a series of nail-biting escapades, Charlie and her colleagues race against the clock to try to beat the terrorists as well as a rogue agent in solving the clues to reveal the location of Pandora. She also happens to be the half sister of Dante, the agent assigned to the case. A terrorist group may be closing in on figuring out Einstein’s super-secret location, so the CIA has decided to recruit Charlotte “Charlie” Thorne, a 12-year-old girl with the world’s highest IQ. Summary: The CIA is desperately seeking Pandora, an equation created by Einstein that has the potential to solve all the world’s energy problems–or to take out large portions of Earth’s population.
