Nora is excited to be attending maker camp at Winthrop Academy. After hoping to find solace among fellow nerds, she is disappointed to find catty competitors instead, including ringleader Eleanor Winthrop, who dubs Nora "Lowercase," because there can't be two Eleanors. To frustrate matters further, Eleanor's boyfriend, Maddox, shows interest in Nora and recruits her to help with their Maker Fair project update to the InstaLove app that will allow players to add augmented reality features to the game. When Eleanor winds up dead, the evidence points to Nora, and she must prove her innocence t instead she gets pulled into a web of secrets. Why was Maddox pretending to be Eleanor's boyfriend even though they broke up? Was Eleanor's death an accident or murder? Geiger's thriller has an interesting coding focus that ties into the big mystery. While the first two acts, full of mean-girl drama, may be a slog for some, the epic murder-mystery finale is well worth the wait.

We stand in a tight cluster, high above the lake. One-by-one, we made our way up the narrow trail from the edge of campus. Now, we wait shoulder to shoulder behind the police tape. Nineteen summer students. All but one. When Nora gets accepted into her dream summer program at the prestigious Winthrop Academy, she jumps at the chance to put her coding skills to use. But then a fellow student goes missing-and the tech trail for the crime leads back to Nora. Running scared, Nora must race to clear her name and uncover the sordid truth...or she might be the next to disappear.
