Synopsis

Winner of the 2020 Independent Audiobook Award for the Young Adult category.

Despite coming from different ends of the world, John, Slack, Akane, and Salome, age 12, have plenty in common. They love computers, coding, hacking, gaming—it literally flows through their veins. One more thing: they are all technically dead. The group comes together at the Wolf's Den in deepest Alaska, one of several top-secret schools for technological excellence around the globe. The place seems like a coder's dream come true at first, but things take a dark turn when the group realizes they are not like the other kids there. They uncover that the center is working on a potentially dangerous, secret project known as Project 31. What's worse, the guinea pigs are the kids themselves. The gang realizes that John's father implanted artificial intelligence in their bloodstream, in order to protect them, before going missing under mysterious circumstances. They are not only wanted by those in power, but are now being hunted. There's only one way out: to escape across the brutal Alaskan tundra where the truth will be revealed.

Goodreads review by J.L. on June 20, 2019

MY THOUGHTS: I received this book in exchange for my honest review. When I received this book, I had no idea what to expect. The book took me one night to read, a couple of hours of my time and I flipped through each paid rapidly wanting more. This is a strong character driven, well-plotted story involv......more

On face value, The Ghost Network sounds cool - 12 year old hackers who come together at a secret school, but it starts off on such an inconceivable spot that the whole story is called into question. Sure, kids are getting smarter, and there are young hackers out there, but hacking security doors at......more

Goodreads review by Kelly on May 15, 2019

It is really sad when such a perfect concept just doesn't quite live up to expectations. Here we have such possibilities with young teens and older adolescents, who can read code and almost twist it to their will. Tthe story is good but just doesn't zing! Maybe the 2nd will lift this series into a b......more

Goodreads review by Hanna on February 29, 2020

Mä aika nuukasti annan lastenkirjoille viittä tähteä, sillä haluan säästellä huippupisteitä kaikista parhaimmille ja ajatuksia herättävimmille kirjoille. Tämä kuitenkin pitkän pohdinnan jälkeen saikin neljän sijasta viisi tähteä. Kirja kertoo luonnottoman taitavista alaskalaisista hakkeriystävyksistä......more

Goodreads review by Reetta on August 06, 2019

Puoli tähteä lisääkin isosta fontista, sopivan pituisista luvuista ja hyvästä luettavuudesta. Käännös on suurimmalta osin onnistunut, juoni ihanaa kohellusta ja henkilöhahmot lihovat tarinan edetessä mukavasti. Muutama yllärikäännös, kunnon ryhmäytys lähes päähenkilöiden hengen kustannuksella, ohjelm......more
