review 1: This is a Young Adult novel about a 15 year old diplomat's son who is kidnapped while in Burkina Faso. Although it is story about a kidnapping, it has some humor. There are side references teens would appreciate and adults find intriguing. I know NOTHING about Burkina Faso and enjoyed the way the author brought up some of the culture, language, and even the problems within the country. The only negative aspect of the novel was some of the adult characters were rather unrealistic.
review 2: Jake, fifteen, sneaks out of his English boarding school to play a game he and his friends call geothimble. When the game traps him in a prison exercise yard he is caught by the police, suspended from school, and sent back to live with ambassador dad, mom, and sister in Burk... moreina Faso. Jake and his sister are kidnapped by a political faction and the ensuing adventures are fast and furious. Interesting characters and very useful info about how to use sour milk to charge a cell phone. Adventure fans will like this. less
