Review by Amber Morehouse, grade 11
This story is about five teenage hackers. Dade Murphy, previously known as "Zero Cool" was forbidden to use computers until he turned 18 because he crashed 500 computers when he was 11. Dade and his mom have moved to New York where Dade meets Kate Libby ("Acid Burn"), Emmanuel ("Cereal Killer"), Joey Hardcastle (Dade gives him the name "Zero Cool"), and Ramon Sanchez ("Phantom Phreak").
Kate and Dade instantly get on each other's backs. When Joey (the newest hacker) hacks the Ellington (a company) super-computer and copies a garbage file he gets into serious trouble. A bad-guy hack ("The Plague") created a virus/worm that steals money and capsizes Ellington's ships. Dade and his friends set out to stop him. Hopefully they will succeed. If you want to find out...read the book or watch the movie by Rafael Moreu.
I would recommend this book if you like a teenage romance along with action and reality.
