Fourteen-year-old Netta Hofman is shocked and heartbroken when her older brother disappears without a trace. Because the Hofmans are recent Israeli immigrants to America, Netta fears that Adam may have been the victim of Palestinian terrorists. Though the prose is superficial and the themes unsubtle, the novel contains solid characterizations of teenagers who come to question their own prejudices.
