Charlie Thorne: The Last Equation

Charlie is a 12-year-old girl.  And a genius.  And a thief.  Did I mention she's mega-rich, too?  She is living large in college... skipping classes and doing whatever she wants when the CIA kidnaps her and forces her to help them.   Only someone as smart as Albert Einstein himself can solve his last equation that could possible save the world. This non-stop action, spy-thriller of a story will keep even the most reluctant reader engaged.  It is a very good selection for this year's Great Stone Face contest.  (FIC GIB)
