4.75

This book is smart, fast paced, and well-written. Gibbs respects his young readers and that comes through in the story and the details: a female protagonist who didn’t feel particularly gendered; set in part in Israel, described so well it was like an experience; a legit tie-in to history and Einstein; an ending both satisfying and leaving the reader ready for the next book. All in all, I was thoroughly impressed.

For middle schoolers, which is why it took me so long to get through. But interesting nevertheless
