Where'd You Go, Bernadette

My summer reading book is called Where'd you go, Bernadette and the story is about a mother named Bernadette who has been emailing an online assistant named "Manjula". Her husband Elgie Branch had already told her to stop emailing people on this website but she ignored him and pretended like she hasn't been emailing Manjula anymore. There fifteen year old daughter Bee asked to go onto a family vacation trip to Antarctica during the holidays because of her excellent grades. Bernadette is worried about the trip and doesn't know how to get ready for the trip so everything that she needs to get ready for she has been requested Manjula to do for her so that she can stop thinking about the trip. Bernadette still is very worried about going onto the trip but she doesn't want to let her husband and daughter down so she has asked Manjula to make an appointment the day before the trip to get her four wisdom teeth took in out. Bernadette has gone over the edge to the point when Elgie gets a letter from the FBI association saying that "Manjula" is actually an alias for an identity-theft ring operating out of Russia. When Elgie found out about this he was furious. I can't say anymore about the book except for that something bad happens when Bernadette was supposed to be getting her wisdom teeth took in out without anyone knowing.

On page 169 is a letter sent to Elgie Branch from Marcus Strang of the FBI saying in the letter, "In  the course of this correspondence, your wife has turned over credit card information, bank wiring instructions, social security numbers, drivers license numbers, addresses, passport numbers, and photographs of you, herself, and your daughter. You are apparently unaware of this activity. Your wife suggests in one email to "Manjula" that you had forbidden her from using the services of Delhi Virtual Assistants International. This matter is delicate and urgent. Yesterday "Manjula" asked for power of attorney while your family is away in Antarctica. We were able to intercept this email before it was delivered to your wife. Judging from her past behavior, we had reason to believe she would sign it without hesitation." This text from the book supports a central idea and analyzes in detail what is happening in the book and gives examples on page 169 by saying how Bernadette has been emailing "Manjula" and giving out personal information that has been caught to the FBI's attention. The text tells what Bernadette has been giving out and informs Elgie that something needs to be took in place for Bernadette's actions.
