Imposter
Written by Cait Levin
Published by Charlesbridge Teen
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.
