Description
When Emily, Tess, Cam and Dylan decide to ignore the new town curfew during their Friday-night game of hide-and-seek, they get more than they bargained for. Down by the river, they witness a shady deal go down involving some criminal types who recently moved into their neighborhood. When the teens are discovered, they are hunted through the dark streets and back alleys. They will have to use all their hide-and-seek skills to save each other. Ultimately, Emily, the youngest of the group and the best hider, discovers that sometimes staying hidden is the best way to escape.

Five stars for it being a perfect example of what it claims to be. The Orca books are sooooooo popular with my students because they get right to the suspense. Reluctant readers don't want a lot of character building or descriptions of scenery. No flowery language or challenging metaphors. I'll give this to students who want life-in-danger suspense but need shorter and simpler than April Henry. The only unrealistic part is that these 16 year old kids are saying things like "jeez" instead of swearing. Though that means it's "safer" for libraries, I think that ship has sailed. Crude language is no longer accepted as a reason to not give a kid a book.
