General fiction (Children's&YA)

Two teenagers begin a dangerous adventure in Southeast Asia hoping to find a kidnapped Chinese hero of the Democracy Movement and unwittingly stop a modern-day slavery gang.

A fast-paced contemporary thriller in the vein of James Patterson and Anthony Horowitz set against the bustling backdrop of Hong Kong, Vietnam, and the border of China. This heart-pounding adventure takes place as two teens, an American teenage boy and his friend, a Chinese girl from his Washington, DC-area high school, must find her father who has been kidnapped-and they only have nine days. Although the characters in the novel are fictionalized, they are based on a real Chinese family who were part of the Chinese Democracy Movement and inspired this story.
