An inspiring debut that takes on self-discovery and gender discrimination in the engineering and coding fields, perfect for 12+ year olds.
High school sophomore Cam has always created techie things, like a ring she implanted with an NFC chip. This semester, she finally gets the chance to take a computer science elective. Cam tries to ignore the obnoxious boys who don't believe she should be in the class at all.
Cam conspires with her quick-witted best friend, Viv, and they engineer their way onto the extracurricular RoboSub team. That ultimately lands them at a national competition as the only two girls on their team. Will Cam rise to the occasion and confirm--not to others, but to herself--that she belongs?
Readers will be pulled into this realistic and rousing YA STEM coming-of-age book that's sure to inspire girls in science to pursue classes, careers, and spaces that others believe they should have no part in.
"[Imposter is] a celebration of everything we aim to foster through our programs--curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and the courage to dream big."
--Alicia Gavin, Director of Communications and Marketing at RoboNation
