When Samantha Granger touches a meteor while talking on her cell phone, her life is changed forever: her body now has all the capabilities of her phone (GPS, phone, text, camera). She secretly calls herself a Digital diva as she rushes to answer emergency calls. But will her identity be discovered when sparks fly (literally!) between her and Trevor, her dreamy crush? Samantha has to get a handle on her abilities and quick, because when Sam gets kidnapped and the entire town is in danger, she is the only one who can save them.
Readers are bound to be intrigued by this new action heroine. - Kirkus
There is a refreshing new voice for upper M.G. fans and it belongs to author Kari Lee Townsend. Hip, smart and funny, 'Samantha Granger!' engages readers from start to finish. Townsend gives 'teen angst' a whole new meaning, 'fusing' her story with charm and delight. Samantha Granger is here, and she's a winner! - Hollywood Director Doug McKeon
Plenty of complications and plot twists that keep things moving. The wacky humor is equally appealing. This is definitely a book targeted at girls. Many will identify with Sam's interests and fears, as she narrates her life in the first-person. Boys might enjoy the action and science fiction aspects... It's a fun and timely concept...as the first in a series, so girls who like action and humor may have found a new superhero to follow. - The New York Journal of Books
A mix of tween school life and Samantha's more adventurous heroics, with a targeted demographic of tween girls. It's a fun little book that its projected audience should enjoy and would probably make an entertaining movie for that same demographic. -Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine
A fun read that I think middle grade or tween girls would really enjoy. As a first in a series it definitely peaked my interest and I'm curious as to where Sam's special abilities will take her. - Red House Books
