Northwood by Brian Falkner

Something about the writing style reminds me of Lemony Snicket, fans will likely enjoy this tale. The narrator is almost conversational with the reader, calming walking us through harrowing events. Suggested for grades 3 .

I read another book by this guy called Tomorrow Code, which I also liked. You can definitely see some common themes in the two books, but they are different enough to still be interesting. Fans of Little Brother and For the Win by Cory Doctorow will love this book. It's action and adventure for computer geeks!
