Publisher's summary

"Fast-paced, smart, and action-packed...a real page-burner.” (Chris Grabenstein, number one New York Times best-selling author of the Mr. Lemoncello’s Library series)

From New York Times best-selling author Stuart Gibbs comes the first novel in a thrilling new series about the world’s youngest and smartest genius who’s forced to use her unbelievable code-breaking skills to outsmart Einstein.

Charlie Thorne is a genius. Charlie Thorne is a thief. Charlie Thorne isn’t old enough to drive. And now, it’s up to her to save the world....

Decades ago, Albert Einstein devised an equation that could benefit all life on earth - or destroy it. Fearing what would happen if the equation fell into the wrong hands, he hid it.

But now, a diabolical group known as the Furies are closing in on its location. In desperation, a team of CIA agents drags Charlie into the hunt, needing her brilliance to find it first - even though this means placing her life in grave danger.

In a breakneck adventure that spans the globe, Charlie must crack a complex code created by Einstein himself, struggle to survive in a world where no one can be trusted, and fight to keep the last equation safe once and for all.

Another Stuart Gibbs Hit!

We already have all the Moon Base Alpha series, All the Fun Jungle series, and all the Spy school books. So it was a no brainer that we needed to give this series a try. We were hesitant because of the negative reviews of the narrator, but.my 9 yr old quickly pointed out she qas the narrator of our beloved Zero G novel. We were listening at home, not in a car and had no trouble with it other than our dogs barking lol. If you love wiity and educational conversation starters with outlandish mystery/ suspense and 12 yr old heroes, you will love this. Many books geared toward my boys make me want to gouge my eyes out after 1 listen but these I am happy to hear over and over again...which is exactly what happens at our house. My 9 yr old has listed to the other 3 series al least 10 times each! I hope Gibbs can keep this up!!

Better than I thought.

After I read others reviews I thought it was bad.The narrator and everything,but when I began I think it was pretty much better than I thought it was and of course I don’t think the narrator has any problem so I think it is best.

A book for the whole family

Honestly, the best story and narration of any audio book we’ve heard. We listen to a lot of audio books on our travels to/from our second home. The kids are 11, 9, and 6 yrs old. We didn’t think anything could top The One and Only Ivan. Kudos S. Gibbs and Emily Woo Zeller—this book/story/narration set a new high bar for our family!

Action packed

Story is good though narrator’s voice for Charlie is a bit shrill and fast. Pretty nonstop on the action. Finished this episode well and set the stage for second book.

Great book, poor audio

Gibbs is fantastic as usual, but listening to this book is a nightmare. The loudness difference between narrative and dialogues makes it impossible to find the good volume level. Good volume level for narrative will leave you with ringing ears when dialogues come up. Tune it in for dialogues and you will end up trying to make out almost a whisper for the rest of the story. It’s unfortunately poor technical performance for such a great book.
