Amulet Books sent me a copy of this ARC (cover is different) for review. Thanks for the opportunity. This book will be published this month, so watch for a copy at your local bookstore.
Katie knew she didn't want her parents to go, but she also knew she could call them on their cellphone to get updates and check in. At least that was the plan. But when her parents and the baby are captured by insurgents and the nanny turns out to be a soldier from the same group, things get really nasty.
Ms. Wildavsky has created strong, resourceful teens who are willing to risk all in an attempt to contact their Uncle (who they hardly know) and rescue their parents. The story is fast moving, the action good, and the plot isn't all that far-fetched in this day and age.
If your child has an interest in spies and intrigue, world politics, or just plain action stories, this is a good one for them. Check it out and see what you think. Rover is a very interesting invention, by the way...

This sounds like the 39 Clue Series that I loved. It will be a must read for me.
Sounds like I Q and a page turner for me. I like mystery adventure.
Send me an email with your name and address and I'll add you to the drawing for the book.
