Einstein had thought up a more efficient formula than e=mc2, called Pandora. Einstein had hidden it with a meticulously planned puzzle, and the CIA has been searching for it for decades. Agent Dante Garcia puts everything at risk and blackmails Charlie Thorne, a 12-year-old genius, into searching Pandora. The race for Pandora has begun, and it changes Charlie Thorne forever. Stuart Gibbs has written many book series (Spy school, Moon Alpha...), but I thought Charlie Thorne was the best. It has adventure, action, espionage, history, geography, romance, and EVERYTHING YOU COULD HOPE FOR IN A BOOK! There are some shootings and teasing about crushes, but it is appropriate for all ages! Charlie Thorne's personality is charming and sarcastic, and it's very fun to think about how she would react if she and I met. I support feminist rights and the book "flowed". If you see this book at a library, try reading it! It'll catalpult you into the Charlie Thorne universe!
Charlie Thorne and the Last Equation
By Stuart Gibbs
Charlie Thorne is a genius.
Charlie Thorne is a thief.
Charlie Thorne isn’t old enough to drive.
And now it’s up to her to save the world…
Decades ago, Albert Einstein devised an equation that could benefit all life on earth—or destroy it. Fearing what would happen if the equation fell into the wrong hands, he hid it.
But now, a diabolical group known as the Furies are closing in on its location. In desperation, a team of CIA agents drags Charlie into the hunt, needing her brilliance to find it first—even though this means placing her life in grave danger.
In a breakneck adventure that spans the globe, Charlie must crack a complex code created by Einstein himself, struggle to survive in a world where no one can be trusted, and fight to keep the last equation safe once and for all.

I loved this book!!!!!!!!! If you liked this book you should definetley check out Spy school.
Nearly sixty years ago, Albert Einstein developed a mathematical formula that could either benefit all society or destroy it. He called it Pandora. Fearing its power, Einstein hid it, and the CIA has been searching ever since. Now, a new nefarious entity searches for Pandora as well, and out of options, CIA agent, Dante Garcia recruits the rebellious twelve-year-old super-genius Charlie Thorne to help locate Pandora and keep it safe. The mission takes her all over the world and endangers her life, but Charlie uses her superior intellect to escape the bad guys and save the world. I loved this book and it was a book that really appealed to me. I am a big feminist and I loved that bit of history in the book. 10/10 for Stuart Gibbs.
Charlie Thorne is book full of suspense, and readers of all ages can read this! Charlie Thorne is 12 years old, but she is as reckless as the average teenager. It comes in handy when she needs to get out of dangerous situations though. Charlie was skiing on a dangerous hill when she suddenly spots someone at the end of it, and she knows it wasn't a coincidence. She dodged the person, but it wasn't someone ordinary. Charlie is almost as smart as Einstein, so when the CIA agent at the end of the hill takes Charlie on an adventure to save Einsteins last equation, she becomes skeptical. After all, why should she solve it? The equation was not something to be handles by a child, but according to her long distanced cousin, Dante, she is the one for the job. The equation was way too important o be left in the wrong hands. It could save the world, but it could also destroy it. When a a group of evildoers tries to get the equation before Charlie, she knows she must do her best and use her smart brain at the fullest potential in order to outsmart the bad guys and keep the equation safe. Will she be able to keep safe and save Einstein's equation, or will the bad guys get it first and unleash chaos? With Charlie Thorne, a 12 year old girl, on the case, what could go wrong? I loved this book and is one of my favorites, and I hope you guys enjoy this book too!
This is my favorite book! I have read it ten times and it has a lot of cliff hangers that make you keep reading. It has a really cool plot and there are lots of conflicts within the biggest one.
