digi ~ Gary Sheerin

digi by Gary Sheerin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Gary Lawrence Sheerin delivered quite a story in the technical novel “digi.” Young Peter shows quite the strength, courage and let’s not forget tenacity in becoming a threat to be wreckoned with in this novel. Digi does have a sort of same old story line as other teenage growing pain novels. But Sheerin throws quite the twist into this technically enhanced plot. What would you use your powers for if you had the ability to thrive in both the human world and computer world? Peter better known as Digi has that grand opportunity. Digi takes you on a fast paced ride that makes everyday computer parts human like. We discover bits, checkers, and viruses have feelings and jobs to do. Sheerin really has a knack in telling the computers point of view but not making it too technical for the reader to pick up on. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel.

The cover of 1’s and 0’s accurately depicted what one would think when referring to coding. The cover takes it back to the basic computer colors of the first coding programs; green and black. This was a pretty cool and appropriate design for this novel.
