Prisoners of War

By Sarah Gracia

Description:

Fourteen-year-old Matt wakes up in a hospital with no recollection of his past. When he meets his parents and twin sister Tara, he learns a shocking revelation: he was kidnapped at birth, and they had not seen him since that day. Soon after, he gains a single memory of another hostage, his friend Age. With Tara’s help, Matt tries to recover his memories to stop the criminal group and save his best friend. But Matt’s not the only one dealing with a waking nightmare. Tara has severe OCD and struggles daily just to function. Age is looking for every opportunity to escape and return to his parents, and hopefully, the girl he sacrificed everything for, even his freedom. If that’s not daunting enough, his kidnappers start to speak of their final plan coming together. Even if Age gets out, he can’t let the remaining hostages be left for whatever nefarious purposes are laid out for them. Will Matt and Tara uncover the secrets of the captors against the clock while dealing with Tara’s OCD spike? Can Age manage to slip away and alert the authorities before it’s too late, or are they doomed to live in the dark forever?

Book Takeaway:

People with OCD are just as valuable as people without it.
