Rendition During Books Genius Squad (Genius #2)
Now that the Axis Institute for World Domination has been blown up; the founder, Dr. Phineas Darkkon, has died; and Prosper English (who enrolled Cadel in the first place) is in jail for myriad offenses, Cadel Piggott has round-the-clock surveillance so he'll be safe until he testifies against Prosper English. But nobody seems to want Cadel. Not Fiona, his social worker; not Saul Greeniaus, the detective assigned to protect him. When he is approached by the head of Genius Squad--a group formed to investigate GenoME, one of Darkkon's pet projects--Cadel is dubious Genius Squad can offer him a real home and all the technology his heart desires. But why can't he bring himself to tell Saul what the group is really up to? And how can Genius Squad protect Cadel once Prosper English breaks out of jail?

I never give up on series, but I really can't be bothered to read the last one in this trilogy. It was boring and too long. TOO LONG! I NEVER SAY THAT! But it was. Don't bother.This book was really good, but the main part where someone gets kidnapped, only lasts for about a couple chapters until a detective comes and saves him. Although the main part was late, the start of the story still kept me entertained, especially with Cadel joining Genius Squad, which ended up leading to all the action parts in the story. The book had a good ending, but it left you in the dark about some things.
Jinks, Catherine. 2008. Genius Squad.Genius Squad is the sequel to Evil Genius. A book that *almost* everyone (excluding me) loved when it released last year. So if I didn't love (and if I'm honest, really almost hated) why would I pick up the sequel? Am I just into torturing myself? Maybe. But it's a good thing. A really good thing in this case. My problems with Evil Genius was in the narrator (and also the pacing but it's not necessary to go there). Our hero, Cadel Piggott, was so far removed
I am now two thirds the way through Catherine Jinks' "Genius" trilogy and am really enjoying it. It's Young Adult Fiction at its finest, and it's set in Sydney, Australia.

Jinks is good at giving you the bare bones you need to understand so it wasn't totally confusing, and I remember the basic premise. The book was good, but admittedly I liked Cadel more when he was manipulating people. A villain training school is a neat concept, but now Cadel has switched sides and is trying to take down the villains. Granted, he realized he's been manipulated his whole
Spoilers are a pain. Read at your own risk.It continues on from the end of Evil Genius. New characters are introduced and old characters are expanded and fleshed out. I love the dynamic between Sonja and Cadel. He learns to become compassionate because of her and to think of others. Cadel becomes more human in this book as he makes friends with the people he has to work with to take down Proctor. The teenagers act almost exactly how some teens would act-only caring about money and having fun,
