YAYoung Inventors Guild series.
Five precocious children from all over the world, ranging in age from six to thirteen, find themselves on a farm in rural Ohio guarded by men wearing black. The kids are told that their parents--all brilliant scientists--are busy working on an important project. After weeks of captivity, the children attempt to escape and save their parents. Well-developed characters enhance this readable story.
