| Title: Double Vision (Click on the title link for synopsis) Author: F.T. Bradley Publisher/Publication Date: HarperCollins Children's, October 16, 2012 Source/Format: Borrowed from Library, Hardback |
Lincoln (Linc) Baker is a mischievous twelve-year-old prone
to causing trouble, and one wrong decision lands him and his family in a world
of trouble. With a lawsuit pending
against his family, and not enough funds to cover it, Linc decides to take up
an offer from a shadowy government agency called Pandora. F.T. Bradley did a
phenomenal job on Double Vision as she transformed a mischievous kid who used
the context of the world for knowledge into a not so skilled but effective spy.
Linc’s mission was to find the “evil
Mona Lisa.” It leads Linc on a whirlwind
adventure in Paris, full of action, humor, cool gadgets, spies, betrayals, and
a plot that had me guessing till the end.
Along the way Linc made a few interesting friends such as a cab driver
with crazy driving skills that had me nervous for Linc, and then a girl from a
bakery, a strong female character, who has mad-skills with a stick. What’s not to like about that?
I would definitely recommend Double Vision by F.T. Bradley. Ok, ok, ok, let’s just say that it was the
perfect spy themed novel that needs to be adapted into a movie! End of discussion. – Review
