Synopsis:

Matt is missing.

Bonnie's brother left his classroom to use the bathroom–and disappeared. A police dog traces his scent to the curb, where he apparently got into a vehicle. But why would Matt go anywhere with a stranger?

Overwhelmed with fear, Bonnie discovers that her dog is gone, too. Was Pookie used as a lure for Matt? Bonnie makes one big mistake in her attempt to find her brother.

In a chilling climax on a Washington State ferry, Bonnie and Matt must outsmart their abductor or pay with their lives.

About the Author: Peg Kehret

I've published 53 books; all but two are for children. I wrote magazine articles, short stories, and plays for many years before I discovered that what I like best is to write books for kids.

When I was twelve, I was paralyzed with polio. I made almost a full recovery but I remember that time of my life so clearly that it's easy for me to write from the viewpoint of a twelve or thirteen-year-old.

I'm always thrilled when one of my books wins a state young reader award, because I know those awards are voted on by children.

I am a widow who was married for 48 years. I have two grown children and four grandchildren. I live on a small wildlife sanctuary near Mt. Rainier National Park and I often have deer and elk in my yard.
