         The Inventor's Secret by Chad Morris features the Cragbridge family in the year 2074. Twin siblings Abbey and Derrick Cragbridge are accepted in the most prestigious school in the world, Cragbridge Hall, where students don't merely read about history, but live it, become animals through sophisticated avatars, and gym class is a gigantic virtual mountain! All of this is credited to Abbey and Derrick's grandfather Oscar Cragbridge the genius behind the inventions. Poor Abbey feels inferior to her brother and undeserving of the fine school, not sure of where she belongs.
        Then when both Oscar and the twin's parents go missing, Abbey and Derrick must scramble through the clues in order to find the answers to a baffling secret mysteriously locked away. They have a mere few days before time runs out and the unthinkable becomes reality.

History:
    As he grew up, Chad Morris wanted to be a professional basketball player or a rock star. But instead he spent his time writing and preforming sketch comedy while going to college and eventually became a teacher as well as a curriculum writer. He currently resides in Utah with his wife and five children.

My Thoughts:
Let me just say that I love this book! Its really, really cool! There are so many futuristic ideas and its written in a very clear, easy way; a real treat for the imagination! Also its an intriguing mystery! What is the secret? What will happen if it falls into the wrong hands? Will Derrick and Abbey's parents die on a sinking ship before the puzzle can be unraveled? You can only know by reading for yourselves. I also found that you can really understand Abbey, how she feels, and you want her to realize how very special she is. A great, entertaining read! Pick it up sometime and you won't be disappointed.
