Synopsis
Danny and Omar are skilled at parkour and they’re off on an adventure that’s filled with obstacles, from locked doors to gangs of hostile pursuers. Together they follow a cryptic clue, find a missing map, figure out how to get to Timbuktu without buying a plane ticket, and join a life-and-death treasure hunt, exchanging wisecracks and solving the puzzle one step at a time.
This Dan Brownesque thriller will entice reluctant readers
I really enjoyed this book and I doubt there are many action movie loving boys out there who would disagree with me
This is an excellent, fast-paced adventure fusing past and present in a swift moving plot
Davies delivers a satisfying mix of history, exotic locales, computer hacking and parkour racing in this well-constructed adventure story
