Bring Back Cerberus
by Phillip Gwynne
This book was another quick and fun read in the series, full of action and wild situations! This series would be perfect for any kid that "doesn't like to read". The pacing is just so fast that you don't realize how much you are reading.
This time the evil Debt mafia has tasked Dom with finding and stealing a super-secret new technology called Cerberus that is barely a rumor among techies and not even supposed to exist. Dom gets involved with shady private detectives, pickpocket street kids, tough cab drivers with a penchant for showing up in all the right places, and of course, some tough techie nerds with nothing to lose and big mean bodyguards who are not averse to a little kidnapping and torture. It takes all of Dom's ingenuity and running skills to find the Cerberus and deliver it to the Debt before his deadline.
Puzzles, anagrams, clues, and mysteries abound in this book! There's even a Latin phrase that Dom takes to his Latin professor for translation. I love that kind of stuff!
The writing is so hilarious and sarcastic! Dom has some really clever lines that make me laugh.
My favorite supporting characters, Imogen and Tristan, are back in full force, with beautifully awkward teen drama and their own ordinary teenage problems. Dom is so focused on the Debt and his adventures that he needs to be pulled back into the ordinary world of friends and family to keep himself grounded.
The family dynamic is getting tense in this book, as Dom's mother and sister begin to react to Dom's increasingly strange behavior. The whole family is so perfectly written, and every character in that family has their own secrets that I can't wait to uncover in the next books!
Dom continues to be an excellent main character. He's clever and brave, but mostly he's just REAL. He struggles and has stupid moments and makes mistakes and freaks out sometimes. I'm cheering him on in every chapter, and completely wrapped up in his story.
