Phantom Wheel: A Hackers Novel

This was an exciting, fast paced narrative that is sure to hook many teen readers.  6 teens are given the opportunity to apply for a special CIA internship, that includes a college scholarship if selected.  The students are all hackers, mostly what are termed white hat hackers.

They soon discover that all is not what it seems, and set out to "save the world" from the nefarious group behind it all. I learned a bit about hacking, and leet speak.  Much seems implausible, but if you approach the book as kind of a teen/hacker version of Ocean's 11 etc., you will enjoy it.

The characters were interesting and varied.  The writing was nice, and the plot kept me reading.
