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.
