“I have 2 sons and my younger one – he is 9 – enjoys books a lot. But only when I or my husband read it to him. THIS BOOK was so exciting and fun to read that he could not wait for us and just decided to read it on his own.
He finished it within 3 days and asked me to buy more books from this author. If this is not convincing enough to buy this book then I do not know what else would be \ud83d\ude09 – Kindle Customer \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/p>\n

Kirkus Reviews <\/h3>\n

“Johnson (Code 7, 2017) offers a well-calculated balance of suspense and humor for middle school readers …. Action sequences are exciting and dramatic. The novel also provides food for thought in considering how AI could help or hurt humanity. Although the villains are over the top, they do give voice to some of the forces that might want to use AI for selfish, grandiose reasons. A well-written, fast-paced and thoughtful adventure.” – Kirkus Review <\/p>\n

\"kids\"kids <\/p>\n

Midwest Book Review <\/h3>\n

Spiced with a satisfying blend of mystery, science, and social inspection, The Proto Project excels in crafting a fast-paced story of how proactive AIs, savvy children, and adults investigate their rapidly-changing new world with an attention to revealing trade secrets. As they embark on world-changing choices and action, the efforts of one young man who becomes involved in a new formula to enhance humanity’s future changes everything. (It should also be noted that the open-ended conclusion satisfyingly ends The Proto Project, but paves the way for more adventures.) <\/p>\n
