Greetings from witness protection 2 series#

Jake Burt's debut is utterly rewarding.' -Wendy Mass, New York Times-bestselling author of The Candymakers and Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life The biggest complaint that readers may have about Burt's debut novel is that it ends. Praise for Greetings from Witness Protection!: This inventive, clever story has a lot of heart at its center. Jake Burt's debut middle-grade novel Greetings from Witness Protection! is as funny as it is poignant. As she barely balances the responsibilities of her new identity, Nicki learns that the biggest threats to her family's security might not lurk on the road from New York to North Carolina, but rather in her own past. Nicki swears she can keep the Trevor family safe, but to do so she'll have to dodge hitmen, cyberbullies, and the specter of standardized testing, all while maintaining her marshal-mandated B-minus average. After all, the bad guys are searching for a family with one kid, not two, and adding a streetwise girl who knows a little something about hiding things may be just what the marshals need.

It's crime, mystery, family, friendship with a little twist at the end, all wrapped into one great middle grade novel. Two very different stories, so I think the resemblance is because both books have very unusual plots. This story, one I have never 'witnessed' before reminds me a little of last year's All Rise for the Honorable Perry T. On top of that, he certainly doesn't want a new (old) sister. As you can imagine, this does not bode well for teenager, Jackson. There's some irony here isn't there? Isn't the US government 'stealing' Nicki's identity to keep Elena safe? In doing so, they stole every ounce of Elena, Pietro (Jonathan) and Lucas's (Jackson) old life.
