Hacker opens with Vicky and the rest of her Year 8 class (including her adopted brother Gib and his annoying friend Chaucy) waiting to take a Maths exam. Inside the exam hall Vicky notices several people cheating, including her friend Maggie. Vicky has a programmable calculator, and writes a programme to work out interior and exterior angles and areas of shapes. Unfortunately since she finishes her exam in 20 minutes instead of two hours, her teacher assumes that she is the hacker that stole the Maths exam. She is given a letter by the head teacher to take home.

However, on returning home, she and Gib discover that something far more serious than cheating at an exam is concerning her parents. Her dad has been accused of transferring one million pounds from the bank where he works to his own account. Vicky and Gib set out to prove his innocence by hacking into the bank; however this puts Vicky in terrible danger from the real thief.

I loved this book. Not only is it a thrilling adventure, but Vicky and Gib's relationship is very believable, as is the ebb and flow of "tween" friendships. Vicky is mixed race, as is her adopted dad, and the detail of her darker skin making her feel as though she doesn't quite belong to the rest of her family rings very true. Identity and ethnicity are not the most important aspects of this book, but it is great to see that the problems needing to be solved in this story. And as children pick up the ideas of "girls' subjects" and "boys' subjects" so early, it is very positive to have a book aimed at 8+ featuring a girl computer programmer! It is unfortunate that the computing aspects of this book have dated, but I would hope that the thriller plotline and believable characters would carry young readers through.

*spoiler alert*

I am going to admit it wasn’t exactly what I expected but still a good book.

My favourite bit is towards the start. It is just as I imagined, with the mother sitting with the children and telling then the news, it filled me with sympathy when I thought how it happened to a regular family.

Although I did try, I found it quite hard to feel a connection with the characters. I did feel sorry for them, but no connection. I feel as well as the main character trying to prove her Dad’s innocence she also learned how to fit in with her family.

I think the blurb makes it seem the Dad is in prison and I assumed it was for murder or something, but the truth is he went to trial and came home, although he was going to have his trial later and maybe put in prison. At the end of the book, it becomes evident that he wouldn’t have even gone to prison, as the people that actually did it said they would ensure that didn’t happen.

Overall, I thought it was a pretty good book and would recommend it to anyone who wants an easy read - as I read it in a day.

I didn't dislike this book but there wasn't anything amazing about it either. Obviously being a book aimed at a younger audience it was quite an easy read, but the storyline was interesting and it was good at keeping you guessing as to what was going to happen.

And that’s what happens when I read YA. I hate it. I hated this. More than you can imagine.

This brill book is about a 14 year old girl who is an expert hacker. After her dad is thought guilty after 7000 pounds being found in his bank account. For a short while Eric David's system manager is thought guilty by them but at the end their aunt is found guilty and is sentenced to three years in prison also after that she is found wearing a stolen 100000 pound earing by those same children and their friend. I learnt to never steal from anyone.

I actually didn't mind this book all that much, there was nothing special about it, but nothing terrible about it either! Overall, a nice, easy read.

[Richard Tubb · Rating 4 out of 5]

Although this is a book aimed at teenagers, I'm a sucker for any writing on the subject of hacking (blame the movie "Wargames") and so got stuck in to this.

The story is about a young girl, adopted after her parents die, and who's adopted father has been wrongly accused of electronically stealing money from the bank he works at.

The girl proceeds to try to clear his name, with plenty of shenanigans along the way.

There are some touching moments with the lead character wrestling with her adoption, her place in her new family and her friends too. Much teen angst, but well written.

I enjoyed this book. It was a good reminder of computing in my younger days!

[Julie Reynolds · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was the second Malorie Blackman book I have read. Great thriller for teens. Superb. Highly recommend for adults for a fun thriller too. 😊

Such a fun and interesting read. This book has influenced me to read more of Malorie Blackman.

[16avvintil · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hacker is a book written by Malorie Blackman and is within the crime genre.
In the book there are two main characters who are Victoria and Gib and are brother and sister
Their Dad has been accused of transferring a million pounds to his bank account and Victoria is convinced that her dad would never do such a thing so she perseveres to prove that it was not her dad.
During the end of the book Victoria and Gib come to a conclusion that it was her “Aunt Beth” (not her real aunt) had been the one to transfer the money. This is due to her suspiciously locking up Victoria in her basement.
By the end of the book it is found out that Beth had stolen 7 million from the bank (she worked there as a programmer) and put all that money into buying jewellery and selling it in Brazil.
She later gets arrested alongside her partner Sebastian and Victoria and Gibs Dads name is cleared.

This book is amazing and Malorie Blackman inspires me a lot. This book had a surprising twist to it that made me even doubt my own family just like pretty little liars and prison break.

A few months ago, I was desperately looking for a job and came across what looked like the perfect opportunity online. The 'company' seemed reputable, their website looked real, and the recruiter who contacted me was very convincing. They told me I had been 'selected' for a remote position, but before I could start, I had to pay certain processing fees and provide some documents. At first, it seemed harmless — I paid a small amount, thinking it was part of onboarding. Then came more requests: training fees, software access, and even a supposed security deposit. I kept sending money because I didn't want to lose the chance. But when I asked about starting work, they stopped replying completely. The phone numbers went dead, the website disappeared, and my money was gone. I was devastated. It wasn't just about losing money; it was the hope of finally securing a job that got ripped away. I felt angry at myself for falling for it, and embarrassed to even talk about it. One evening, while searching online for help, I found GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE. Something about the way they explained their services made me feel I could trust them. They weren't pushy and didn't promise me miracles; instead, they laid out exactly what steps they would take to recover my funds and how long it could realistically take. I handed over all the details I had — bank transfers, email conversations, and transaction receipts. They were quick to respond and surprisingly patient with me, considering how many questions I asked. Throughout the process, they kept me updated, which gave me a lot of comfort after feeling so helpless. Weeks later, I got the news I never expected — they had tracked and recovered the money I lost to that fake job offer. When I saw the funds back in my account, I literally cried tears of relief. It felt like a Nightmare was finally over. GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE gave me back more than just money; they gave me peace of mind and a fresh start. I don't know where I'd be without their help. If you've been tricked by scammers in any way, don't keep silent or give up hope. These people know what they're doing, and they fight hard for people like us. I'll always be Grateful for the second chance they gave me. You can reach them on web at ( https://graywaretechservice.com/ )    also on Mail: (contact@graywaretechservice.com

The world of cryptocurrency is a complex and volatile realm, where fortunes can be made and lost in the blink of an eye. As an investor, I approached Bitcoin with a mix of caution and optimism, only to fall victim to a sophisticated scam orchestrated by cunning cybercriminals. Their plan was meticulously crafted, complete with polished contracts, a façade of legitimacy, and a chorus of fake investors singing the venture's praises. Lured by the promise of exponential returns, I invested my capital, only to watch it disappear into the digital ether.

The aftermath was a painful blend of helplessness and regret, as I struggled to come to terms with the loss. However, in the midst of despair, I discovered a glimmer of hope: GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE. This specialized service offered a beacon of light in the darkest of times, providing a chance to recover lost funds and restore a sense of justice. With their expertise and guidance, I was able to navigate the complex and often treacherous landscape of cryptocurrency fraud, and ultimately reclaim a significant portion of my losses.

The experience served as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and caution in the world of cryptocurrency. As the threat of fraud continues to loom large, it is essential for investors to remain informed and alert, taking steps to protect themselves from the ever-evolving tactics of cybercriminals. By sharing my story, I hope to raise awareness about the dangers of cryptocurrency scams and the importance of seeking help from reputable services like GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE. In the end, it is a cautionary tale of the importance of being proactive and prepared in the face of uncertainty, and the value of seeking assistance from trusted experts in the field .You can reach them on whatsapp+18582759508 web at ( https://graywaretechservice.com/ )    also on Mail: (contact@graywaretechservice.com

Plot

This book follows Vicky and her Step-Brother, Gib, as they try to clear their Dad's name - the bank he works for accuses him of stealing one million pounds. One of the recurring themes of the book is Vicky using her skills in computing, which she has developed thanks to her father, so she can solve the problems that are thrown at her.

Main Review

This book is good but that is essentially it. I did enjoy the plot, however, with the question of:

"What if you had to become a criminal to clear your Dad's name?"
- found on the cover of the 2022 Corgi edition of Hacker by Malorie Blackman

being an interesting one. The Characters are alright and, to be fair, this is just a children's book. The same can be said for the atmosphere. I found the logic to be a little bit off, but there was never anything too flawed that ruined the book. Overall I would recommend it to people between the age of 7-10 unless you just want an easy quick read.

[Alex Horsewell · Rating 3 out of 5]

HEY! It's true I LOVE Malorie Blackman's books (just read my 2016 top ten) and I really did enjoy this book, however, it wasn't one of her best works.

This was first published in 1992 meaning its an earlier one, published 9 years before black and white (the first noughts and crosses book). When this was written she was a relatively new writer, when it came to popularity.

The reason this only got three and a half was because the story didn't start to get exciting until the end 80 pages. It felt like there was a 150 page beginning a 60 page middle and a twenty-page end.

I have to say wow, though. The amount of research Malorie must have done is INCREDIBLE, this book was almost a course in computer science.

The end was a shock. I did not expect that the way.
SPOILER:
Sebastian and Beth turned on them and turned out to be evil people. I really hated them at the end of reading this book. They were very well written characters.

I recommend this book to anyone from age 9 - 11

Thank you HackerTechs for hacking the requested phone and instagram remotely! If you need a legit hacker to hire urgently, browse about ( HACKERTECHS001@Gmail.Com ) they're the hacking team behind the secret tracker i have on my husband's phone was so smooth he was unaware about it for months. I have no worry asking about his whereabouts, all i have to do is login into a portal which is linked to her phone remotely. I can comfortably read her text messages, call logs and Facebook, instagram messages including her deleted files & messages in real time access. It was no doubt exactly worth it and having to know he was unaware about what we did was the best part. I'm secured while i get real proofs of his secret acts from his phone without touching it. ( HACKERTECHS001@Gmail.Com ) and avoid scam stories where you're a victim

5.5/10

Hacker is a great cyber mystery novel that's perfect for children and young readers. I can easily see a child pick this up and become curious about the world of programming and computer systems. With simple but effective descriptions of how certain commands and programs work, as well as displaying real code. There's also a neat mystery, that turned and twisted as it went along.

My main gripe was that the first half of the book goes a semi-slow pace. While I understand that was to give a reader time to understand the complexity of a banking system, it did make the pace drag at points, only picking up once our characters got some new info, before dragging again. Though, it doesn't stay this way. Especially the last third of the book, where the story steps up a gear and becomes more entertaining.

All in all, its a decent novel that I think most kids would have a good time reading

[Eileen · Rating 2 out of 5]

A young Middle Grade novel that works even though the technology references are a bit outdated. It's a fast read, and I generally liked it, but was kind of put off by an early scene between the main character and her brother about her having been adopted while he's the biological son of their parents. You're kind of hit over the head with it and her struggles with belonging, but they come together for a common cause for most of the book without having addressed how hurtful he was. That said, the plot takes some good turns and wraps up satisfyingly for a young reader. Both of my 9yo sons read it independently and liked it.

I always stood against people trying to hack their partner's phone, until my cheating husband gave me every reason to spy on him. I've been suspecting his attitude lately and I really loved my man, so I was eager to find out the reason behind his sudden change of attitude. I contacted HACKERTECHS001@Gmail.Com who was recommended by a friend and after a few hours of contacting him, he gave me remote access to my husband's phone and I saw all his day to day activities and I was able to confirm he was cheating.

[Nikolai · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book as it is not all front-line action and it is instead mostly about finding the bank files proving the innocence of their dad. IT is full of plot twists as you find out what the main characters discover. You also get the same suprises as the character because you are always watching the main characters from the side. It is a brilliant book but i only rate it 4/5 stars because it is unlikely that an eleven year old can hack a bank system.

I read this in my primary school and i remember loving it so much. I somehow took a copy home and read it again. I found the book again today and it brought so many memories. Little did little me know that i would be OBSESSED with reading later on. Anyway this was before my goodreads days so I don't know the dates that I read this. Still thought it deserves to be here. LOVED IT. Will definitely re-read again sometime.

One of my favourite books

Malorie Blackman is an amazing author and it is the second time I’ve read this book. I can’t wait to discover more of her books. I am looking forward to reading “Thief” and “Antidote”. My tutor recommended this book and I now recommend it to readers who like suspense and mystery.

This is a well written children’s book with a good plot. However, it does feel a quite dated.
