Linked

By: Gordon Korman

Narrated by: Cassandra Morris, Christopher Gebauer, Maxwell Glick, Sandy Rustin, Mark Sanderlin, Preston Butler III

An unforgettable novel from the New York Times best-selling Gordon Korman.

Link, Michael, and Dana live in a quiet town. But it's woken up very quickly when someone sneaks into school and vandalizes it with a swastika.

Nobody can believe it. How could such a symbol of hate end up in the middle of their school? Who would do such a thing?

Because Michael was the first person to see it, he's the first suspect. Because Link is one of the most popular guys in school, everyone's looking to him to figure it out. And because Dana's the only Jewish girl in the whole town, everyone's treating her more like an outsider than ever.

The mystery deepens as more swastikas begin to appear. Some students decide to fight back and start a project to bring people together instead of dividing them further. The closer Link, Michael, and Dana get to the truth, the more there is to face - not just the crimes of the present, but the crimes of the past.

With Linked, Gordon Korman, the author of the acclaimed novel Restart, poses a mystery for all listeners where the who-did-it isn't nearly as important as the why.

Outstanding in every way.

Don't wait to start this book. Korman is, as always, brilliant. This piece is particularly timely.

The different voices voicing each character

I would recommend this
story I really liked it and would read again.
The voiced were really good.

Amazing but a bit heavy topic

I loved the storyline and the fact that they bring light to things that are usually a bit avoided. As a jewish person, this reflected a good way on my religion without talking too much about it. The only downside is that it is a bit of a heavy topic for kids to read. But overall 10/10

This book was my first in a while, and I loved it

I’m not really a book guy, but I loved this, it took a little bit of mystery, with middle school life. The plot twist was good, it caught me off guard. 10-10 book, would recommend.

Another great story!

Thus reminds me of Gordon's book on WW2, which was entertaining but sheds light on the reality of war. Linked was also entertaining and humorous but serious as well. A great listen with a great message, while not being overdone.

Way WAY better than I expected!! Go GK!

My kids and I have loved Gordon Korman since we were literally rolling on the floor with laughter over 20 years ago. (We were reading while we were laying on the floor together. ) "No coins please" is our favorite among many.

really good book but....

there is a lot of things that have confused me like the one boy that once he hears that he Jewish he is all about it because of the swastikas🤔 if there was not swastikas he would not care much🤔😐😑😗 P.s f**k swastikas love America🌏🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷😎😘

Storyline

It helped me a lot that I was able to finish my book 5 star review

The information on Judaism

Very interesting take on symbolism and the ripples it can make in society and families. I am ignorant about the Jewish religion and this was very enlightening. Right now with the war between Israel and Palastine and the horrors the accompany the facts of what is happening, this is a timely story about embracing differences and developing the change in thinking that is needed to stop the atrocious war...on both sides! This book is all about just that.

Amazing

I love history and especially WW2 and this was a neat take on the Holocaust and I enjoyed it very much
