This was an enjoyable mystery featuring both school-age heroes and some assisting adults. Miku just knows that something at her school isn't right. Everyone has changed and she is sure the Principal and Class President are up to something, but she can't put her finger on what it is. She enlists the help of Eleanor Amplified to uncover the dastardly plot.
The plot moves along at a good pace, with a few different levels to uncover. Initially, I found Miku's misgivings a bit too vague and nebulous, but it is nicely fleshed out by the end. Eleanor's involvement at the school is highly convenient and requires a strong suspension of belief - even for young readers. The themes of the novel - the twin evils of social media and data driven education - hit the reader over the head a little.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for access to this eARC.
