The Blurb:
It's the ultimate challenge: breaking into the Ivy League.
The hack:
To get one deadbeat, fully unqualified slacker into the most prestigious school in the country.
The crew:
Eric Roth -- the good guy, the voice of reason.
Max Kim -- the player who made the bet in the first place.
Schwartz -- the kid genius already on the inside...of Harvard, that is.
Lexi -- the beauty-queen valedictorian who insists on getting in the game.

The plan:
Use only the most undetectable schemes and techno-brilliant skills. Don't break the Hacker's Code. Don't get distracted. Don't get caught. Take down someone who deserves it.
The stakes:
A lot higher than they think.
My Opinion:
When I first started reading this book I hadn't read the blurb, a review or anything about it. A great thing about reading this on my kindle is that I couldn't take sneaky looks at the last few pages like I normally do. At first I felt this book was a little confusing as it starts with 3-4 characters and when you're not properly into a book yet this does get confusing, but over time you get to know the characters and it's all fine then. It is your typical teen book, but it can be read by either gender as it's not a girly teen book. It's a great book with some wit thrown in, it gives you an insightful look to how university admissions work and I found it hard to put down.
