" An alternate-universe (maybe?) take on the events after 9/11 and the teenagers and their parents that get swept into a global bio-terrorism plot. It was sweeping enough that I had to start the sequel right away. It isn't quite Cory Doctorow territory, but it is a darn compelling story! "

" I read this book back in 2009, and liked it then; the sequel finally came out this year, so I re-read this and headed on to the sequel. Together, they are a very satisfying, exciting, and terrifying adventure. "

" A truly excellent novel about some teens who get sick via a terrorist attack on their water. It's the story of four teens in a small suburb and two computer nerds, one from Pakistan, who do everything they can to save those four other teens. I absolutely loved this book and highly recommend it.

" The voices of the characters are clear and fresh. However, about halfway through the book, the addition of Tyler and his background requires the readers to test the limits of their credulity. Overall, this is an exciting read made frightening by how real it seems in this post 9/11 culture.
