Sophie McKenzie
- Reading
- Try reading alongside your child and pause to talk about the team’s choices and changing friendships. The ending and the detail of the peril remain unclear.
- Themes
- Scientific experimentation and unusual abilities: A scientist is said to have implanted four babies with a gene for psychic abilities; the teenagers later investigate claims of a drug with similar powers. The plot makes an experiment and its claimed legacy central, but does not establish whether the book endorses or criticises the science.
- Worth knowing
- The mission is called the team's most dangerous yet, and the group is described as crime-fighting. The nature and extent of any peril or harm remain unclear.
