Second in a series, this action-packed mystery is full of adventure, travel, music, and resourceful female protagonists. During a trip to Scotland, best friends Kari and Lucas, both 14, befriend Seneca Crane, a sheltered teenage pianist whose talent is expected to be highly lucrative in the future. Narrator Krista Sutton creates realistic, likable adolescents and hits the mark with a variety of adult characters. Scottish accents are nicely handled as Sutton differentiates the various characters in a way suggestive of full-cast audio. After Seneca is kidnapped, Sutton increases the pace and intensity of the narrative, keeping the listener fully engaged. M.H.N. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
Even a trip to Scotland hasn't done the trick. Lucas is driving Kari crazy with her nonstop talk about her so-called boyfriend. If Edinburgh's famous arts festival can't distract Lucas, what will? The answer turns out to be Seneca Crane.
Seneca is the reason they're in Scotland in the first place. Kari's mother is interviewing the fifteen-year-old piano prodigy for a magazine story. At first, the two best friends are sure the beautiful and talented Seneca will be too famous to relate to. But when they meet her and her overly protective parents and tutor, Kari and Lucas decide she needs to be rescued from her restricted life. What they don't realize is that they'll soon be rescuing Seneca from a situation even more serious-because after her standing ovation at a concert, Seneca disappears!
Armed with a potentially life-threatening clue and suspicious of those close to Seneca, they head for the Highlands to find her. *But will they be in time to save Seneca from danger?
