Book Review: In an emergency....
Summary: 4 Stars
What would you do if your father frantically called and gave you specific instructions to follow, including driving his Bronco when you are just fifteen and don't yet have your license? Alice dallies and soon someone comes into her house talking about killing.
From this point on, Alice's inherent strength for survival kicks in and she acts on adrenalin. Hiding under her father's Bronco saves her the first time. There are many more to go. She hears on the radio that she is wanted by the police for the murder of her father. Apparently, Alice sent an email to the police confessing the murder, but of course Alice knows better. Her mother's radio/television statement seems accusatory. What is Alice to do? Where is Alice to go?
This is the set up for the story. Most of the novel has Alice confronting one set of dangers after another. Not that she is a superhero, she uses every wile, every subtlety in eluding police and the real killer. People who trust unknowingly help her find shelter and hiding without knowing that is what they are doing. What is most important is that she has an all-important disk that apparently contains secrets key to the revelation of the murderer.
How the story unfolds in the last quarter is fast-paced and surprising. I think the point is to show how we often do not know people around us and how often we do not open up to those we love.
Wanted: freedom from hidden pasts and ability to show love.
Caroline B. Cooney is a very popular young adult writer. This book makes the fourth I've read and quite enjoy, but it is not on the level of adult fiction. If a movie, it would be PG.
