Synopsis
It's the ultimate challenge: breaking into the Ivy League.
The hack:
To get one deadbeat, fully unqualified slacker into the most prestigious school in the country.
The crew:
Eric Roth -- the good guy, the voice of reason.
Max Kim -- the player who made the bet in the first place.
Schwartz -- the kid genius already on the inside...of Harvard, that is.
Lexi -- the beauty-queen valedictorian who insists on getting in the game.
The plan:
Use only the most undetectable schemes and techno-brilliant skills. Don't break the Hacker's Code. Don't get distracted. Don't get caught. Take down someone who deserves it.
The stakes:
A lot higher than they think.
They've got the players, the plot, and soon -- the prize.
It's go time.

Reviews
Eric, Max, and Schwarz—best friends, brilliant teens, hackers extraordinaire—plan their coup de grâce hack: getting slacker Clay Porter, Eric’s third-grade nemesis, into Harvard. The boys intend their plan to take revenge upon the aging, white male admissions officers who determine every overachieving teen’s future financial and mental health. Then the perpetually money-hungry Max reveals that he has bet the threesome’s archenemies, the Bums, thousands of dollars that Max and his friends can pull of their hack, and the stakes rise dramatically. Wasserman, author of the novels in the Seven Deadly Sins series and a Harvard alumna, writes a story that is harsh, funny, sophisticated, unpredictable, and edgy. The carefully crafted story line is full of twists and turns, concluding with a surprising ending, and the central characters are multidimensional and multitalented young people who speak in authentic, clever dialogue. The vivid Cambridge, Massachusetts, setting and an ironic “don’t-try-this-at-home” introduction add to this memorable reading experience. Grades 8-11. --Frances Bradburn
