Outlaw (HARDBACK ONLY)by Stephen Davies
Jake isn't sorry to be suspended from school for 6 weeks. It means he can go home to Burkina Faso, where his parents live and where he's never bored. This visit is particularly eventful; Jake and his sister, Kas, are abducted from a diplomatic banquet and find themselves in the ruthless hands of a man who identifies himself as Yakuuba Sor. However, the real Sor, known locally as The Chameleon, is busy helping poor farmers escape government injustice, and the kidnappers have been hired to make Sor the target of a life-and-death manhunt. Disguise and concealment, mad dashes on horseback and motorbike, cold-blooded murder, "insects" carrying sophisticated tracking equipment, and laser-led missiles aimed at Sor's training camp turn up in this suspenseful adventure that challenges Jake, Kas, and Jake's versatile, high-tech phone to do their very best and survive.
