Broken Arrow

The Thrilling Sequel to the best-selling Lost Cause

"This thrill-a-minute series will hook reluctant readers as well as fans of James Bond and Jason Bourne."¿School Library Journal

Steve thinks he made the right choice turning down a snowy week with his cousins at a cabin in northern Ontario in favor of a relaxing (and perhaps romantic) time under the Spanish sun with his friend, Laia. But when an email from his brother DJ arrives, implicating their grandfather in some shadowy international plots involving nuclear bombs, Steve and Laia immediately put aside all thoughts of a lazy, sun-drenched vacation. In a desperate attempt to find out if Steve's grandfather was a Cold War-era spy, they crack mysterious codes, confront violent Russian mobsters, dodge spies, unearth a bomb and avoid nudists. But the more they uncover, the more Steve wonders: whose side was Grandpa really on?

"With only a forged passport and a coded message as clues, Steve will need all the help he can get to figure out whether his grandfather was a well-traveled businessman or a double agent…Steve's quest is part-Cold War mystery and part-Spanish history lesson...The puzzles are satisfyingly difficult...the information about a little-known chapter in history is interesting and the setting is beautiful."¿Kirkus Reviews

"With its absorbing beginning, unpredictable ending, and series of heart-stopping encounters in between, Broken Arrow is a great bet! Highly Recommended." ¿ CM

"The warm, dusty atmosphere of rural Spain and the busy city of Barcelona with its loving traditions bring this story to life…this compelling mystery…effortlessly teaches history as it entertains with panache." ¿ Resource Links
