The first book in the action-packed trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Gordon Korman is perfect for fans of Stranger Things and James Patterson.
Eli Frieden has never left Serenity, New Mexico...why would he ever want to? Then one day, he bikes to the edge of the city limits and something so crazy and unexpected happens, it changes everything.
Eli convinces his friends to help him investigate further, and soon it becomes clear that nothing is as it seems in Serenity. The clues mount to reveal a shocking discovery, connecting their ideal crime-free community to some of the greatest criminal masterminds ever known.
The kids realize they can trust no one--least of all their own parents.

I bought this for my hesitant reader. He honestly does not enjoy reading one bit. He really enjoyed the plot of this book though. He read thru it pretty quickly, not because it was easy but because he was interested.
Love Gordon Korman books and have promoted them in my 4th and 5th grade classes for years!
Read this with my 5th grader for Battle of the Books. There are some grown up ideas that I had to explain, but that is fine. The story line was exciting, and the characters are likable. The cliffhanger comes at just the right place. We look forward to reading the next book.
Spoiler alert, but in the end there is a truck going 60mph in second gear. As a person who drives a stick I was laughing reading this, but in the end it was a really good story.
It is not hard to believe this could and probably has happened. It was very interesting to read, can't wait to read the next book in the series
