10-14 Middle/Secondary
In this dramatic story of kidnap, Martin suddenly finds himself attacked in the ordinariness of his own kitchen and taken away. Even when the tension eases, Harrison has more twists of plot to keep the reader guessing. In the opening section we are also intrigued by Martin's story being told in tandem with the kidnapper's daughter. The way that they come together is cleverly plotted and from then on the two are on the run, uncertain who to trust. This uncertainty is the heart of the story and the certainty of the conclusion is something of an anti-climax. Not to be confused with the Robert Leeson book of the same title.
