This was one of those increasingly rare books that handles teenaged inability to think clearly with heightened awareness and reasoning REALLY well. The capabilities of Maisie (particularly in the technological know-how, scientific reasoning, scheming, etc.) are believable if only because they are explained by well-crafted plot devises. But take away those and she's back to being a normal, slightly above averagely intelligent girl. Refreshing, since most books these days have undiagnosed geniuses for protagonists.
Regardless, this was an excellent read. I literally couldn't put it down. Stayed up WAY later than normal to finish it. Another home run, Mrs. Hale!
