A Girl Named Digit by Annabel Monaghan

4.0

Teenager Farah Higgins is a math genius. She can look at any random set of numbers and see patterns. After having a rough time in middle school (she became known as Digit, because of what her classmates saw as her freakish abilities), she's stayed under the radar in high school, hiding her amazing math abilities. Life is going along swimmingly until the day she realizes that the random series of numbers showing up onscreen in her favorite TV show are actually a coded message about a major terrorist attack. It turns out that she's stumbled on to something major, and before long, she's on the run with a hot young FBI agent.

This was a fun fast read (I finished it in a few hours). Digit is a likable, smart heroine. She's a genius, but she's been keeping it under wraps for years in an attempt to be treated as a normal teenager. John Bennett can relate: as the child of two spies and an up and coming agent himself, he's used to keeping secrets. Their banter is very funny and the flirtation that develops is very cute. The plot is a bit predictable, but in a lightweight story like this, it didn't bother me.

This isn't exactly an intricate thriller, but it's very enjoyable. Fans of Ally Carter's Gallagher Girls series will like it, and if you always wanted a lighter, younger version of Alias, this may be just what you're looking for.
