I loved this book because of all the tech in it nd the rest of the series is amazing

I was hooked as soon as I started reading it. This book is so good, I can't wait to read the second one!

The story is pretty good over all.

The author really did a good job at describing everything, it's like watching a movie.

This book is so cool and thrilling

Cruz lives in hawaii with his dad. But when he gets accepted into the Explorer Academy, his life turns upside down. For the second time.

Cruz Coronado is accepted into Explorer Academy and he's thrilled. Sure, he is a super smart and creative 12 year old, but to get accepted into the super cool prestigious academy? Even better: this is the school that his late mother went to. Hoping to find out more about her, Cruz enters the academy with high hopes. He makes friends, enjoys his classes, and even makes a crush. But not everyone is a fan of Cruz. There's a rumor that he will win the annual newbie award because of his aunt who works as a teacher at the academy. It also seems that there's someone following Cruz and he's had some close near-death experiences featuring his friends. But when someone hacks into his tablet faking him and getting him in major trouble? Cruz is worried- not only for his sake, but his hunter may be related to his mother's death. A cross between adventure books and Spy School, Trudi Trueit takes you on an amazing adventure. Happy reading!

I love the movie too

This book is a must read, and I for one LOVED it! When Cruz Coronado gets accepted into Explorer's Academy along with 23 other students, he's never been happier. He makes friends, like Emmett and Sailor, and his aunt even works there! However, this is the school where his own mother was killed, and Cruz suspects it wasn't an accident. His mother was involved with something dangerous, and those same people who killed her are after Cruz too. Throughout his school missions that were assigned for him and his friends, he discovers that something always goes wrong. Someone is ought to get him, but why? And who is Nebula? With his friends help, can he find out the answer to his life and his mother's death, or will Cruz's nemesis get there first? I rate this book 5 stars for the action and adventure. This book taught me a lot of stuff, and I hope you guys love this book as much as I do!
