Beschreibung

Embark on a thrilling adventure to an enemy capital, where two teenagers race against spies and mobsters to recover a priceless vinyl record that just might save the world.When Harrison, the son of American diplomats, lands in Moscow at the height of the Cold War, he knows three things: his passport will keep him safe, his daydreams will keep him company, and his music will keep him sane.But everything he knows is about to be shattered.His father has vanished, his mother is keeping secrets, and his best friend Prudence, the fearless daughter of foreign correspondents, leads him on a dangerous pursuit of a mysterious femme fatale.Suddenly they're on the run from the CIA, the KGB, and an assortment of treasure hunters, all desperate to get their hands on a legendary lost Beatles record in a place where rock music is banned.Their only hope is to navigate a treacherous underworld — a world of coded messages, secret gatherings, maps made by spies, walls that have ears, cellars dripping with menace, skyscrapers that trap you in the clouds, and elevators whose rides could be your last.As the Cold War threatens to heat up, Harrison turns to the last person he ought to trust — a renegade spy on a mission of personal redemption — and learns the timeless lesson that love is all you need.Full of suspense, Back in the USSR is perfect for fans of Code Name Verity and I Must Betray You, and a great next step after City Spies, The Bletchley Riddle, and Alex Rider. It will keep you on the edge of your seat right up to the emotional, uplifting ending.Buy now to be transported to a world of secrets and spies!"MASTERFUL ... EXPERTLY PACED ...

Twelve-year-old underachiever Rob has better things to do than read. His parents give him lots of books but most of them just end up in the messy pile of junk he keeps locked in his closet that once doubled as a makeshift science laboratory. One day, Rob hears weird sounds coming from behind his closet door and discovers a funny little creature that seems to be a cross between two characters from books he's tried to ignore. He names him Wonkenstein. Keeping track of "Wonk" is hard work. But with help from friends and a little off-the-wall magic, Rob and Wonkenstein's crazy adventures set the stage for great laughs . . . and Rob might even read some good books along the way.
