My Review:

This is a great story about children spies. I also liked the author had characters with disabilities. Noah has implants to help him hear. However, his implants help him hear people's thoughts. I have often wondered what others are thinking. It is no surprise that Noah is tempted to use his ability in school. Lena is also a good character. She is often a voice of reason for Noah. Noah and Lena are sent to space camp to relax, however, that is not the case. Of course, there is trouble. Noah and Lena have to help find the villain. It was interesting that they were not on the front lines but in the background, listening and helping with the interrogation. The ending was good, and it all comes down to details that the kids remember. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy, all opinions are my own.
