Farrah “Digit” Higgins is a female math
genius, a freshman at MIT, the girlfriend of an FBI agent, and the daughter of a UCLA math professor and
actress. Her only goal is to live a normal life and
stay out of harm’s way (meaning Jonas Furnis). Her academic ability
in math allows her to find patterns in things other people
can’t see, and this gift has gained her the nickname “Digit.” However, her ability to interpret
numbers in a unique way makes her different, but not as geeky as her new pals at MIT. However, this changes when she hacks into the Department of Defense to get information
early so that she can go to a friend’s toga party.
This is where Digit meets Jonas Furnis. From this point readers will be on the edges of their seats as Digit is kidnapped and forced to work on the terrorist’s destructive plan while the CIA tracks them down. Her unique brain is a power to be admired. The CIA wants her to work for them, so I guess readers can look forward to another book.

This is a well-written book that
would make an excellent addition to any middle-school or high-school collection. It is recommended for Books of Note.
Summary: A female math genius who is a freshman at MIT, a hot FBI agent and
cool dorm monitor, a kidnapping, and a terrorist bomb threat provide the
