While sleeping
on the roof of his father's hotel, thirteen-year-old Lucas Benes finds a baby
alone and learns that the Good Company has restarted its profitable kidnapping
business. Multilingual and already on his third passport, Lucas leads a network
of international teenagers through the hotspots of Paris-from the catacombs to
the Eiffel tower-in an all-out effort to spoil a brainwashing ceremony that
could potentially turn them all into ‘Good’ kids.
A realistic
middle-grade (tween) action-adventure novel packed with secret societies,
questionable friends, and international chases.

—Josh Cobb, Head of Middle School, Graland Country Day School
“Perfect for preteens and early teens who envision days of action and excitement.”
— Jane Phillips, education consultant
