About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their middle-schooler is struggling with feelings of powerlessness or needs to see the value of grit during high-stakes situations. As the final installment in an intense, month-by-month thriller series, this story follows Callum Ormond as he races across the globe to solve a dangerous family mystery and clear his name. It is a masterclass in resilience and logical problem-solving under extreme pressure. The narrative deals with the weight of family legacy and the fear of the unknown, making it an excellent choice for kids who feel they are on the cusp of growing up and want to test their own limits vicariously. While the tension is high and the peril is real, the core of the book is about a young person finding their voice and standing their ground against a world of adults who do not always have their best interests at heart. It is appropriate for ages 10 to 15, offering a clean but pulse-pounding alternative to more graphic adult thrillers.
