Trey thought the chauffeur wanted him dead. Trey was very mad and unhappy. Trey went back onto the porch and sat down. He was very scared because it was nighttime. Trey heard the garage door open. Trey saw a car go out of the garage and was terrified because he saw Mr. Talbot with handcuffs in the car. He saw two guys in black uniforms in the car with Mr. Talbot. What should Trey do next?

I liked this book very much because it was very adventurous. You did not know what was going to happen. It was very suspenseful when it was nighttime because Trey did not know what he should do. I recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure and suspense. It is the fifth and final book in a series by Margaret Peterson Haddix, which I have really enjoyed.
