Jack's Run

by Roland Smith
donation copy paperback 246 pages
genre: YA adventure

I read this in bits and pieces during lunch this school year. It's a quick little sequel to Zach's Lie. I think I like it better than the first book! Jack/Zack/Mack is heading to California to stay with his sister while his parents are holed up in preparation for Alonzo's trial. His sister auditions for a singing show (brilliant move for a person in a witness protection program . . . ) and they are again being hunted. The kids are taken to a vineyard until their parents give up Alonzo's journal. Action. Adventure. Danger. Good stuff. A little too much, but middle school appropriate.
