SYNOPSIS:
Cadel's troubles are far from over, even with Prosper English in jail, and the Axis Institute disbanded. He is placed in a foster home with a budding criminal, and a spoiled brat, and has only very limited access to a computer, or to his best friend Sonja. Although his social worker and the detective assigned to his case mean well, they can't stop underestimating Prosper English, and Cadel doesn't feel safe. When a couple of adults approach Sonja and Cadel in hopes of getting them to join their "Genius Squad" in order to take down GenoME, Cadel leaps at a chance to change his dismal life. However, he soon begins to wonder if it is a change for the better, or a change for the worse.
AUNT SHARON'S TAKE: Although the book can be a bit dry in places, and definitely has some language content issues, for the most part, I thought this book was an exciting, worthwhile read. I would only recommend it to older readers, however, due to the language and some crude references.
