APPLETON, VICTOR UNDER THE RADAR

Tom and his dad are in the park testing out Tom’s new invisibility suit when suddenly a van pulls up – and kidnaps Mr. Swift!

Tom is panicked – who would want to abduct his father? A strategy meeting is held and the FBI is called. But things get tricky when it looks like the kidnapping was an inside operation. Despite the FBI’s insistence that Tom stay out of the investigation, Tom and his sister, Sandy, are determined to find their father – and whoever is responsible for taking him, whether it’s TRB, their rivals at FUG, or even the FBI itself! One things for certain – Tom will test the limits of science to save his family.

COONEY, CAROLINE B. WANTED!

It all started with a phone call. In a tense voice, Alice’s very rational father suggests that she drive his precious Corvette and meet him. But Alice doesn’t have a driver’s license. “It doesn’t matter!” he yells. Yet he never shows up. Never calls. Something is very wrong. Then Alice hears an announcement over the radio. Her father is dead. And someone has already confessed to his murder via E-mail. That someone is Alice. Everyone, including her mother, believes that Alice is guilty. The police are after her. And the real murderer is too. It’s only a matter of time before somebody catches her…

HADDIX, MARGARET PETERSON DOUBLE IDENTITY

As Bethany approaches her thirteenth birthday, her parents act more oddly than usual: Her mother cries constantly, and her father barely lets Bethany out of his sight. Then one morning he hustles the entire family into the car, drives across several state lines – and leaves Bethany with an aunt she never knew existed. Bethany has no idea what’s going on.

Bethany’s only clue is a few words she overheard her father tell her aunt: “She doesn’t know anything about Elizabeth.” But Aunt Myrlie won’t tell Bethany who Elizabeth is, and she won’t explain why people in her small town react to Bethany as if they’ve seen a ghost. The mystery intensifies when Bethany gets a package from her father containing four different birth certificates from four different states, with four different last names – and thousands of dollars in cash. And when a strange man shows up asking questions, Bethany realizes she’s not the only one who’s desperate to unravel the secrets of her past.

Until they escape one night – and find themselves on the run, both from the authorities and from a sinister attacker who has his own reason to stop them.
