This was a tense, entertaining thriller that stars an endearing and clever twelve year old basically in what amounts to the lead role of The Fugitive. Nathan's character is quite well-developed, but everyone else is somewhat cardboard-like, which is fairly typical for this type of novel...it is all about the story and the action. Be forewarned also that law enforcement takes a beating. They are not sympathetically portrayed. Nevertheless, it was definitely an absorbing, exciting tale from start to finish.
