The Oracle Code
by Marieke Nijkamp, Manuel Preitano
Meh! Readable. Lazy. Very, very heavy handed. Many racially diverse background characters, but the nonwhite characters stay very background and very flat, even Babs' two "best friends." Plot holes galore: how did Jena find all this out? and why is she so evasive if she's already solved the whole mystery? The visual puzzle piece theme bugged me irrationally---have the artists ever seen puzzle pieces before? If they have, you really couldn't tell!
