Every Kid\u2019s Worst Nightmare Plays Out in This Mystery Novel<\/strong><\/p>\n

What would you do if your father suddenly disappeared? Twelve-year-old Lula Mae\u2019s world is turned upside down when four armed men dressed in black leather jackets take her father away. Her dad never said much about his family background, but he always promised one day to take Lula back to his own country.<\/p>\n

Her family was living the American dream until the night the men came. This powerful novel describes the people who helped shape Lula\u2019s young life and the two years that follow the night her dad was Deported<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Lula\u2019s mother describes her daughter as stubborn as an Irish bull, and as inquisitive as Nancy Drew. Lula can\u2019t understand how someone can be deported if he\u2019s an America citizen. She tries to unravel the whereabouts of her father in this mystery that will keep you guessing to the end. The bravery demonstrated by this girl who desperately loves her dad is a thriller in itself. Although the premise of Deported<\/em> is every child\u2019s worst nightmare, Lula takes a firm stand and won\u2019t take no for an answer.<\/p>\n

About On the Run\"Ware<\/strong><\/p>\n

After many years of not knowing what happened to her dad, Lula Mae Smith Gifford is finally reunited with him. She can\u2019t believe her eyes as he gathers her in a happy embrace.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish I could have been there for you, Alex, and your mom. I was held in captivity for one year. After I escaped, my life had to be lived On the Run. If I had returned to my family, we all would have been killed.<\/p>\n

One day I will tell you the story of my life, but for now, I must get you to a safe place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dad looked so old. Lula Mae could tell that he carried a lot of weight on his shoulders. After driving for hours, they parked in front of a rundown house. Although the house was in the middle of no man\u2019s land, the inside wasn\u2019t that bad.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know this is not what you\u2019re used to, but for the time being we have to live this way. Get some rest and tomorrow we will discuss the plan I have for the two of us.\u201d Lula Mae now answers to the name Cynthia Carter. Dad\u2019s new name is Peter Carter.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been robbed of our names, making me more determined than ever to unravel the truth about my dad.\u201d<\/p>\n
