Zach's Lie

Product Description

Jack Osborne is a pretty average kid--until the night that changes his life forever. The night men in masks break into his house, threaten Jack and his family, and ransack their home. The same night, Jack discovers that his father has been arrested for drug trafficking--the reason these men have come into their lives.

Jack, his mother, and his sister are forced to enter the Witness Security Program, which means that their identities up to that moment will be completely wiped out. Jack becomes "Zach" and moves to Elko, Nevada, a town in the middle of nowhere. There, he enrolls in a new school where he meets Sam, the strangest custodian he has ever encountered, and Catalin, a girl who might make Zach's uprooting worth the trouble. But just as Zach finally begins to put the pieces of his life back together, he finds himself in danger again--and this time his actions could determine the fates of everyone he cares about most.
For ages 11 to 14.
