About the Book
Title: Quantum
Author: Hannah Godard
Genre: Young Adult
Nothing is more glamorous than the CIA …
at least for Clara. All she wants is excitement and adventure, to help
people … and to be a part of something bigger than life.
At nineteen, she leaves everything she’s
ever had behind to join the CIA with her boyfriend Ross. But when the
agency starts to fall away like shattered glass, Clara and her team get
thrown into the biggest mission ever to hit the agency. How will they
deal with the pressure?
Clara has all her cards out on the table
and she’s trying to keep them all in place … except she can’t hold them
all down on her own. She’s trained and she’s ready … but something
isn’t right. Is the real way to win the game not to play it, or is the
trick not to play it for too long?
Author Bio
Hannah
Godard was born and raised in the small town of Cochrane, Alberta where
she is currently a grade eleven student. She continues to chase a life
of creativity and imagination, creating characters to take her on
adventures and maybe learn something from them along the way. She writes
to tell the greatest stories that have yet to be told and create a
spark in which to lighten up the world. Hannah credits her dad for
teaching her everything she knows about the world, from politics to
drive and perseverance. Without him, she would be a very different
person.
Quantum is her first novel and the first
in the Quantum series. It came to life in the same way as many other
novels do, in third period Social Studies class. This class was spent
with three out of four of her best friends, laughing, creating
businesses, and being creative. It was the one class where she could be a
kid, where people didn’t tell her words could only mean one thing, and
where they could all be creative. It started as a joke, as a simple
question; what if I was in the CIA? From that point on Hannah developed
the character of Clara, with the help of her friends, and soon the story
came to life. Each person who she knows, no matter how small, is
somehow put into the novel, worked into the story line, because what
they say is true: we write what we know.
