Zortman’s debut novel sends a group of friends on a puzzling journey, entangling them in a hundred-year-old mystery. Mikaela Kadono’s world was turned upside down when her family uprooted and moved to a dilapidated old house in an unfamiliar neighborhood. With the loss of her friends, school, and sense of normalcy, Mikaela felt lost and alone. But her fate took a turn when she met her neighbor, George, who introduced her to the secretive club known as Drone Legends. Their first mission goes wrong when a talking AI drone enters their lives, leading them on a dangerous quest to unravel a hidden secret in Mikaela’s old house. Who created this technology and was the accident truly an accident? Mikaela is a dynamic and resilient protagonist, navigating a richly crafted world with precision. The seamless integration of cutting-edge technology and STEM concepts lends an air of authenticity to the thrilling plot. Meanwhile, George’s journey to embrace his Mexican heritage and Mikaela’s struggle for acceptance in her new town are woven together with expert finesse. Throughout it all, Zortman masterfully delves into themes of self-discovery, camaraderie, duty, and responsibility, creating a diverse and genuine cast of characters that will resonate with readers. Intelligent, exhilarating and wholly absorbing.
