Description

Maya’s Laptop is just a novel of suspense from Ny Times-Bestselling author Isabel Allende. This modern coming-of-age tale centers upon Maya Vidal, an amazing teen forgotten by her parents. Maya was raised in a rambling old-house in Berkeley with her grandma Nini, whose solid power helped her develop a new life after emigrating from Chile in 1973 with a boy, and her grandpa Popo, a mild african american astronomer. When Popo dies, Maya moves off the rails. Along with a group of friends referred to as "the goblins," she turns to drugs, booze, and small offense--a volitile manner that ultimately results in Vegas and a dangerous underworld, with Maya found between warring causes: a team of assassins, law enforcement, the FBI, and Interpol. Her one opportunity for success is Nini, who helps her escape to a remote island off the coast of Chile. While in the treatment of her grandmother’s aged buddy, Manuel Arias, and surrounded by unusual new associates, Maya starts to report her tale in her laptop, as she attempts to seem sensible of her past and solve the secrets of her own existence and her family.
