Liar & Spy meets The Parker Inheritance in this whimsically complex story about human connection and the power we all have to determine our own fate.

Is there anything more random than middle school? Sixth graders Oliver and Frankie don't think so. Their first few weeks have been full of weirdness — lunchtime thievery, free beef jerky, and Matilda, the mysterious new girl who knows everything about them, but has a lot to learn about making friends.But what if none of it is random at all? What if a reclusive genius is keeping an eye on them and making sure the tiny pieces of his puzzle fall into place, one by one, until strange, seemingly unconnected incidents snowball totally out of control? Imagine the odds! First a cardamom shortage takes down the school bully. Then a giant dog leads to some extracurricular spying. Soon Oliver is being followed and Matilda is hacking the FBI. And by the time they discover a gang of angry clowns and the world's largest game of Mousetrap, an insanely brilliant plan has been set in motion that will change their lives forever.Connect the Dots is an intricately plotted story about the power of human connection and a chain of "coincidences" so serendipitous they must be destiny at work.

      Narrator Matt Godfrey embodies the lighthearted fun of this science and technology-based adventure. The audiobook's mystery surrounds the brilliant Preston Oglethorpe, an eccentric genius whose mathematical understanding of chaos theory allows him to predict and change events in the future. His mysterious disappearance means nothing to a trio of sixth-grade friends--Oliver, Matilda, and Frankie--until Matilda notices that Oliver is being followed by the same car every day after school. Through Matilda's passion for spying and computer hacking and Frankie's insightful observation of a series of uncanny coincidences, the kids connect the dots to Preston Oglethorpe and realize that they are all in danger. With distinct voices differentiating the characters, Godfrey keeps the plot moving and brings heart to this enjoyable story. S.C. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
