(2) 4-6 During a month at his grandmother's island house, twelve-year-old Kip finds a binder filled with his deceased father's teenage writing. He's immediately drawn into a story about undercover agents and evildoers, but it becomes clear that it's really his father's account of his own paranoid reality. Ellis's restrained but rich language and vivid characterizations bring readers directly into Kip's world.
