Mini's sister Kate runs away after increasingly vituperative arguments with their parents. Mini eventually coaxes out the truth: Kate was adopted, and an ill-considered decision by their parents has upset her. It stretches credulity when Mini uses her well-honed geography skills to find her sister. Nevertheless, Mini is an appealing character, and issues of identity and family relationships will resonate with readers.
