LOOKING for a good book to buy the grandkids? Agent Nomad: The Eleventh Hour by Skye Melki-Wegner may be worth a look.
One minute you're a normal schoolgirl about to face a maths test - next thing you have a code name and you're in training to become a secret agent.
Natalie Palladino, now code-named Nomad, is that 15-year-old. Suddenly she's a secret agent for Helix.
And, it turns out she has a dangerous magical gift that makes her a target for the "inductors". If they find her, they will kill her.
The raw recruit can't levitate, fight or wield magic like her fellow Helix recruits.
So, if she's the only hope to stop a sorcerous bomb being detonated, the world is in trouble.
Publisher Penguin recommends Agent Nomad: The Eleventh Hour for young adult readers over 13.
