5 Friends, A Dangerous Game, & The Truth About The Family Business
“This book surprised me! I cannot tell you what surprised me because I want it to surprise you.”
—Kellee Moye – Moderator of the “Keep Them On The Edge Of Their Seats” panel, Assembly for Adolescent Literature at NCTE (National Council of Teachers of English)
In the ordinary town of Sunnyslope, CA…
Five friends race against time to solve a digital game involving ancient artifacts that hold the fate of the world in the balance. When their parents go missing, they learn of a history that is best kept secret.
As the chaos unfolds, they’re forced to decipher clues, crack codes and anticipate their next moves. Readers will find themselves on the edge of their seats at every turn.
“While Ben is likable, he’s no fearless leader but a fallible boy who does his best to be courageous in frightening situations. That the main characters are of diverse ethnic origins is laudable and a breath of fresh air, as is the lack of stereotypes and clichés. Well-written and well-paced: a promising start to what should be an exciting and unusual sci-fi series.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Computer games can present a whole world of facts and puzzles, and this fast-moving sci-fi adventure is packed with tantalizing riddles and codes. . .There are plenty of cool facts about ancient cultures, history, and science. The narrative ends in a cliffhanger, and readers will want to grab Book 2, The Lost Tribes: Safe Harbor, ASAP”
5 stars for Educational Value, Positive Messages, Positive Role Models.

“This book surprised me! I cannot tell you what surprised me because I want it to surprise you, but the book ended up being very different than what I thought it was going to be…..he book has riddles, codes, and information throughout, and I definitely could see fans of Tombquest or 39 Clues enjoying this adventure. But, once again, this book isn’t as it seems!”
