Blurb:
Jupiter is a 12-year-old nerd and hacker with mostly online
friends. She hacks using the handle, White-Rabbit. Then one evening, comes a
lightning storm to end all storms, a storm that zaps the computer, freeing
computer-gnomes. The gnomes escape the computer and surround Jupiter where she
sits at the study desk. Using magic, the gnomes turn her into a tiny, digital
girl and shove her through the lens of the camera and into the monitor.
Now, Jupiter is lost inside the computer, in a digital world
filled with dangers, a world that has a gateway to the internet where a digital
girl could get duplicated and spread across the world-wide-web onto tablets,
cellphones, videos, and well, cyberspace.
Oh, heavens, the technology to turn a human being into a
digital being is valuable and everyone seems to want a piece of Jupiter,
including hackers who use avatars from the Wizard of Oz!
How will she ever escape back to her world and become a real
girl again?
Time is running out as Jupiter struggles to break free of
her prison.
Digital Girl is a bit like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,
only Wonderland is the computer.
Digital Girl is a bit like Through the Looking-Glass, only
the Looking-Glass is the monitor.
A shrunken Jupiter falls down the camera hole rather than
down the rabbit hole.
My Review;
12-year-old Jupiter is a computer nerd who likes to hack.
One day Jupiter wants to get online but unfortunately the computer has been
hacked and now it is locked. Jupiter uses her skills as a hacker to hack into
the computer to obtain the password so she can get on the computer and then
proceed to the internet where she can check all her online accounts.
But unfortunately something goes terribly wrong and these little
computer-gnomes come crawling out of the computer and sends Jupiter down the
camera hole or the camera lens sending her straight inside the computer to meet
all sorts of things inside like a desktop, programs, a virus, java, jpegs among
a whole lot of other techy things that goes on in a computer world.
Yeah Jupiter has a rough and long day with her visit inside
of a computer. She meets some friends on the inside but she meets some real bad
things too. Things that want a piece of Jupiter, things that want to pay her
back for hacking them, things that just are out to do the job they were created
to do but could be very bad for Jupiter.
Jupiter just wants to find her way out of the computer and
go back home but at the moment she doesn’t know how she is going to accomplish
that problem but try she will. Jupiter is a very smart girl so I am sure she
will eventually find her way home or will she?
Digital Girl has been an awesome read. I really enjoyed
reading Digital Girl from Jupiter’s point of view as she is an amazing little
girl. I really enjoyed reading Digital Girl also because I recognized all the
parts of the computer and the virus’ and the programs. Digital Girl is a great
way to explain how some virus’ and Trojan horses may work.
Digital Girl is great fit for all ages. It would be a great
book for the younger young adult, middle grade, teens and even older adults who
are into computers, fantasy or maybe even science fiction. If you fit in anywhere
in the above categories then I would like to suggest that you give Digital Girl
a try! One click your copy today!
