After nailing the murderer of her addict mom and proving that her detractors are full of it, seventeen-year-old Faith Flores is back for another kick-ass science mystery.
She’s proud to be chosen for a summer internship at a research lab in Santa Fe, New Mexico, but once she arrives, complications abound. For one thing, Santa Fe is the birthplace of the father she’s never met, and for another, she clashes with a local environmentalist trying to pull the plug on the genetically modified chiles her new boss is engineering.
She and violin prodigy, Clem, learn of a new teen drug called liquid gold while discreetly researching the family angle. The chip on Faith’s shoulder is still there, but so is her determination to uncover the truth when a girl she meets at a party dies from an overdose of liquid gold.
Code Red Faith Flores Science Mysteries Book 2 edition by Janie Chodosh Children eBooks
This book gets five stars because it is the thinking-person's page turner, not your typical cranked out formulaic thriller. You can tell the difference when the characters are so believable you think they are real and when you can't make out what is going to happen.Product details

Code Red Faith Flores Science Mysteries Book 2 edition by Janie Chodosh Children eBooks Reviews
Faith Flores, the science whiz we met in Death Spiral, has flourished while living with her Aunt T. in West Philadelphia.
Here, we meet her upon her arrival at St. John's College in Albuquerque the residence for ten teens who have been chosen from around the country to act as summer interns in various fields of study. Faith will be spending the summer at the fictional Salazar Center for Plant Genomics.
She doesn't expect to make any friends, but almost as soon as she arrives, she connects with an attractive young local named Clem, a violinist who has won the music internship several years in a row.
During their orientation, the teens are warned about a new designer drug on the streets. Called "liquid gold", it's derived from a local plant and used not only for recreational purposes, but also as as a date-rape drug.
Faith has another goal while she's in Albuquerque to find her father. According to a newspaper clipping she'd found in her late mother's things, he'd been arrested on a drug charge there two years earlier.
The story is an enjoyable read that is difficult to put down. Faith is an engaging protagonist, smart and driven, but not without faults. Due to her background, she is slow to trust and easily spooked. It's encouraging to see a young woman who is interested -- and successful -- in a scientific field. Also refreshing is that her supervisor is female.
Code Red can be read as a standalone, but do read Death Spiral first in order to fully appreciate Faith's journey.
Faith Flores is a bit of an atypical protagonist insofar as she’s somewhat rough around the edges. Of course, considering her circumstances, she’s a remarkably well-adjusted adolescent. Knowing the bare minimum about her father, really raising herself—while doing her best to take care of her addled, addicted mother—Faith’s occasional avoidance of silly social graces seems just about right. Above-average intelligence and a freaky-fast mind also, understandably, contribute to her curtness.
Having recently figured out ‘who-done-it’ when her mother was murdered (Janie Chodosh’s Death Spiral, A Faith Flores Science Mystery), Faith needs a change of scene as much as something to wholly occupy her inquisitive intellect. And so begins her internship in Santa Fe where she will be assisting in studies of genetically modified chiles. The fact that her always-absent-father supposedly inhabits this town certainly won’t distract her (she wishes) but, the headline A New Drug for Northern New Mexico just might.
Smoothing the story with more than soul-soothing songs, we have violin virtuoso, Clem. Quite frankly, there is no going wrong with a dude named after Vassar Clements <bows deeply to Ms. Chodosh> and this young man is no exception. Aside from his evident awesomeness, for the first time ever, Faith feels a possible connection…perhaps he can identify with her “…own mixed race too-brown-to-be-white-too-white-to-be-brown ethnicity…”.
Santa Fe has several surprises in store for Faith and suddenly, her luxurious length of time here seems lacking. To focus on the inexplicably angry threats against her lab and GMO crops, grab a few minutes here and there with Clem, and attempt to take advantage of opportunities with new-found family; Faith definitively does not have time to delve into the intrigue of Liquid Gold, the latest in dangerous dope. Unless there’s a link that would render her choice irrelevant.
*Not to go full-out-nerd on you but when I began writing this review I realized that I still felt relatively ignorant about the term “GMO” & the arguments against it. This Mental Floss article saved the day What is a GMO?
This review was written for Buried Under Books by jv poore.
can't put it down, fast moving , well crafted . Interesting characters. The science is fascinating. A must read for any age
I received Code Red on Thursday and finished it on Friday. It is well written, and an engaging page-turner. The characters were so well portrayed that now that I've finished the book, I'm still thinking about them and wondering what they're up to next. I certainly hope there will be another book. This book is great for teens, but definitely has cross-over appeal.
This book gets five stars because it is the thinking-person's page turner, not your typical cranked out formulaic thriller. You can tell the difference when the characters are so believable you think they are real and when you can't make out what is going to happen.
