Full Circle 911

by Diane Kozak

Curious and concerned about a series of recent terrorist attacks in Europe, Abby Haddad, a Muslim teenager living in a small Massachusetts town, uses her Islamic background to uncover some frightening connections between these recent events. More startling than the links between these violent strikes, however, is the realization that her brother heads up a United States terrorist cell, which plans to execute several vicious attacks on American soil. Torn between loyalty to family and love of the country she calls home, Abby decides to try to halt the impending disaster. With three school friends, her other brother and his girlfriend, Abby embarks on a frantic search for credible evidence to present to the authorities before another attack occurs. Her quest leads to threats and danger at the hands of some evil and ruthless terrorists. With help from an unlikely source, the group scrambles to unravel the plot before thousands of people are harmed or killed. Throw in a jealous ex-girlfriend and the story takes some interesting twists that nearly lead to a breakdown within the group and failure to stop the terrorists plans. Working against the clock, Abby and her friends struggle to keep the psychologically unbalanced ex at bay, while they trace the path of the terrorists and decipher their next move. The combination of persistence, patriotism and Abby s in-depth knowledge of the Muslim religion, leads to a final showdown.
