Alex and her dad are caught up in an intense hostage situation in this action-packed showdown, edited to a reading age of 6.5.

Alex and her dad are working a routine plumbing job in the Town Hall when it is suddenly taken over by terrorists. Their leader Mr Blue demands the release of a high-profile prisoner, or he'll start killing hostages – and one of them is Alex's dad! Hidden in the attic's pipes, Alex must rely on her wits to ensure they all stay alive. And she only has precious minutes before time runs out …

Particularly suitable for readers aged 11+ with a reading age of 6.5.
