(4) 4-6 First Hazel and Ned's father departs suddenly on a mysterious errand, then their babysitter is threatened and their apartment is robbed. Using the Internet and old-fashioned sleuthing, the siblings learn the truth about their father's disappearance and track down extended family they never knew existed. Many telegraphed clues plus an overly tidy ending mar this middle-grade thriller.
