Latter-day Spies #2

by Michele Ashman Bell

Fami’s nightmares are back. The eleven year old keeps having the same dream about the last time he saw his father alive. In the dreams, his dad is trying to tell him something extremely important. But what does the mysterious message mean? Suddenly Fami and his best friends, Seth and Sadie Fletcher, are being secretly whisked away to a remote mountain hideaway while the authorities try to figure out who is threatening the trio. But the peace of their cabin retreat doesn’t last for long. Soon they will have to rely on their resourcefulness--and the power of prayer--if they are to be reunited with their families.

Run with three courageous kids in a story where a simple game becomes the key to their survival as they step closer to the Dragon’s Jaw.

About the author

I grew up in St. George, Utah, where a lot of my family still lives, but now reside with my husband and family in the Salt Lake City area. My favorite thing to do is support my kids in their many interests. Between basketball, ballet and piano lessons we squeeze a lot into a week, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Strong sequel brings back our favorite characters and some of the villains too.

After the events of the first book, Fami, Seth, and Sadie are happy to be taking a trip back to the United States to get away from it all for awhile. Their cook is even coming with them, even though she is terrified of airplanes. They are thrilled when they find out that in New York they have an entire floor for just their family--for security purposes. They start playing hide and seek, but after a frightening experience in the hotel elevator, Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher decide their hotel is not as safe as they thought.

The kids are sent to Fami's grandfather's cabin in the mountains of Utah. Meanwhile, Fami keeps having dreams about his dad trying to tell him some kind of message before his death. Before long it becomes apparent that their location may have been compromised even there, so they all go into an even more remote place to camp.

Then things really get interesting.

If your kids liked the first, they will probably like this one too. The twins' friendship with Fami continued to develop, and this one had an added element of mystery surrounding a cave and the message from Fami's dream.

Content: Again, some violence, some intense situations.

This mystery teaches you to pray in times of need. though it may sound a little boring it is a very adrenaline pumping book. There is gang members chasing 11 year old's, booby traps, and traitors. It is suspense with a moral.
