You tell me, after watching a few spy movies made in the last 10 years, - would you leave your cell phone on knowing full well you can be tracked by GPS signal while you are hiding in a secret FBI location? That was the first thing that seriously irked me.
However Farrah's silly mistakes and her partnership with a rookie agent who should have had way more sense than he exhibited didn't make much sense to me. I know that plenty of girls and boys(mostly girls) would enjoy it, but ultimately it turned out to be way too fluffy and silly for me.įarrah's life and her obsession with numbers, lines and seeing something systematic in everything she does and experiences was the most fascinating part of the book and its most enjoyable quirk for me personally. Add to it that YA spy novels is like crack to me (Ally Carter, I'm totally blaming you!), so of course I didn't hesitate to buy it.Īll in all, A Girl Named Digit is a nice book. I've read a few fantastic reviews of this book and was really enthusiastic about reading Farrah's story. Overall, a quick enjoyable young adult read. When she meets John, the young FBI agent that believes her story, the action, adventure, and romance amp up pretty quickly. After several failed attempts, she finally gets an FBI agent to listen to her, which leads to a fast-paced chase that takes her from California to New York and back again.ĭigit uses sarcasm and a natural sense of humor that make her many quirks hard not to like. She is fascinated when different numbers appear for the next three weeks, but when she begins to figure out the meaning of those numbers and realizes that they point to a terrorist attack that occurred at JFK Airport, she has to find someone who will listen to her theory. Moving to a new school has given her the opportunity to hide her abilities in order to appear "normal," but one night when watching one of her friends' favorite teen shows on television, she notices a group of numbers in the corner of the screen. Farrah Higgins has been known as Digit for most of her life due to her extraordinary ability with numbers, puzzles, and codes.
