(4) 4-6 Orca Currents series. Thirteen-year-old Justin lands a job with a security company. Not only is he shocked to discover that the guard dogs are being mistreated, he also suspects a colleague is involved with a recent spate of thefts. Melodramatic touches--Justin's mother is gone, his hard-drinking father's out of work--somewhat undercut the power of this otherwise direct, accessible, high-interest title.
