 * Good sections to read aloud:**

This book is unlike Clark’s others in the fact that our main characters (in a sense) are three year old twins. At the very beginning, they are kidnapped and held “hostage” with a couple that is in it for the money ($8 million dollars is being asked for in ransom money and they stand to receive $1 million of that if the girls are returned unharmed). “Mona” instantly takes to one of the twins, but not the other. When they cry, she shuts one up and coddles the other. “Bert” doesn’t like this at all...and smells something fishy, yet isn’t willing to get out of it because of the money involved. All seems to be going well until “Mona” pulls a stunt that endangers them all, including one of the twins. Will the FBI and other cops on the case figure out what is going on before it is too late?
