Mastermind by Thomas Lockhaven lets four genius teenagers help to save the world.
Will Team Kaboom capture Pierre?
Team Kaboom
We have four teenagers that are geniuses and great friends.
First, we have our two boys in the group: Dexter “Dex” and Jayden. Dex is the group leader, and he is excellent with computers. He loves to spike his hair and thinks of himself as a flirt. Jayden is great at solving math problems or encryption and is incredible at ciphers. Another thing that Jayden loves doing is judo, and the best thing is that no one expects him to be good at that.
Now we have our two girls in the group: Aiko and Emily. Aiko loves watching people, so she’s the group’s human behaviorist and psychologist. Emily has eidetic memory and is a great scientist.
Each member has their specialty, and because of the Mastermind competition, they became even better friends. I loved reading about their bickering, how only fantastically best friends bicker, and how they all have each other’s backs. Mr. Lockhaven is awesome at showcasing friendships in his novels, and this one is no different.
The Story
Team Kaboom has one competition left for the Mastermind corporation to see which team is the best nationwide. They were competing against three other teams from three different states, and it was a tough competition. It was a whirlwind of activity, with Team Kaboom going everywhere. I have to say that this book had me on the edge of my seat while reading it, especially when Pierre escaped from prison. How will Team Kaboom get him back?
Five Stars
My rating for Mastermind by Thomas Lockhaven is five stars. I also want to recommend this book to anyone out there. This book is for you, whether a parent or an adult who wants to feel like being a kid again. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and wondering what would happen next. It’s a nail-biter of a mystery, and I can’t wait to see what happens next with Team Kaboom!
Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of Mastermind by Thomas Lockhaven.
Until the next time,
Happy Reading!
About Thomas Lockhaven
Forty years later, I was able to fulfill my dreams and become a full time writer. When I began writing, I decided that my books would be a safe-haven from the real world. My children’s series all have strong messages of perseverance, thinking outside the box, friendship and loyalty. I have a daughter, and as I work through my manuscripts, I always try to imagine what I can say to inspire and entertain at the same time.
For my cozy readers, I spent much of my life traveling to small coastal towns in North Carolina and then later in my life to the coastal towns in New England. I’ve always loved the idiosyncrasies of the locals, and I’ve always wanted to bring them to life in a book series. My Coffee House Sleuths stories are just that. And just like my children’s books, I endeavor to write stories that are clean, with very little violence and no profanity. I do my best to help people disappear from the craziness of life, even if just for a little while.
I currently live in Boston, but my dream is to move to a small coastal town, stare out over the ocean, and to let the words flow. I have an incredible wife who constantly inspires and encourages me- and an amazing daughter who is my most harsh, but loving critic. As I said earlier, my passion is to write and to continually improve and perfect my craft. For those of you who read my books, I humbly thank you. For those of you who have never read my books, I welcome you with open arms.
