Synopsis:
11-year-old Ben can’t really remember his dad. After all, he was only a baby when he lost him in the New York Twin Towers attacks. Now ten years later, with his mum finding things hard to manage at home, he’s sent away for one long, hot summer, to stay with his grandparents.
A new kid in a new town, Ben quickly makes firm friends with Priti (11), the super-smart, know-it-all, motor-mouth next door. Then his sulky 12 year old cousin, Jed, turns up. Together, the three young heroes start to believe they are on the brink of cracking a major terrorist plot, with Priti’s own devout Muslim older brother the target of their rising suspicions. Soon, what looked like a boring holiday turns into an adventure none of them will never forget.
Comments:
