George and the Unbreakable Code

(4) 4-6 George's Secret Key series. Illustrated by Garry Parsons. In their fourth story, science-minded friends George and Annie search for a mysterious UFO-based hacker after glitches in major computer systems worldwide cause chaos, including Cosmos, the computer that facilitates their interstellar travel. The characters are plot vehicles for the sophisticated science; essays from prominent scientists expounding on computer science and robotics are interspersed in pullout pages that, while fascinating, disrupt the flow.
