Secrets of the X-Point series.
Thirteen-year-olds Axel and Daisha witnessed the murder of their inventing-colleague parents; now, evil billionaire Dr. Hatch is after the GeoPort--which allows a person to instantaneously travel anywhere around the globe by pushing a button--and only Axel and Daisha have one. This globe-spanning thriller uses action tropes rather carelessly, but that shouldn't diminish the appeal for reluctant readers.
