Praise for Code of
Silence: 'Deliberate, plausible, and
gritty whodunit.' --Booklist Starred Review
Taken!
A detour through the
park leads Cooper, Gordy, Hiro, and Lunk straight into a trap, and Gordy is
abducted! For the kidnapper, it's all a game, a way to settle an old score,
with no one getting hurt. But evil has a way of escalating, and once his
identity is discovered, the rules change. Despite the best of police efforts,
the hours tick by without a clue or a ransom call, leaving everyone to their
own fears. Gordy is gone. Cooper descends deeper into a living nightmare, imagining
the worst for his best friend and cousin. Hours stretch into days, and talks of
a memorial service begin to surface. But Cooper still feels his cousin is alive
and develops a reckless plan, changing all the rules. Now the one who set out
to rescue his friend needs to be rescued himself. Sometimes rescuing a friend
from darkness means going in after them.
My Review:
I really liked this book for a few different reasons but
before I tell you let me tell you a little about the book.
Cooper, Hiro, and Gordy are riding their bikes through the
park when they see a backpack on the roof of a van. Gordy tries to catch up and
tell the driver but he is abducted by the driver. Cooper calls the police but
doesn’t know if he has the license plate right. When days go by and the cops
are no closer to finding the kidnapper and Gordy, Cooper takes matters into his
own hands. But Hiro fears Cooper is going too far in his pursuit of the
kidnapper and Gordy. But how far is it when your friend’s life is in danger?
I really loved the characters in this book. They are very
relatable. You can feel the connection between the characters. Tim makes you
feel the horror that the friends are feeling at the abduction of their friend.
I was hooked to the pages as Gordy is breaking laws to get back his friend even
at times I found myself cringing at the lengths he would go through. The book
is a fast paced and will leave you on the edge of your seat the whole time
wondering who the kidnapper is and if they will get Gordy back safe. I really liked
that the author put notes in the back that I think every kid, teenager, and
adult should read on how to keep yourself from being abducted and if you are abducted what you need to do.
4/5 Bloody Fangs
