Their current scheme unfolds in the city of Boxelder where they are deceiving the wealthy. This time they are tricking people to invest in a new state of the art vehicle. However, this new car is just a Ford masked as a luxury car. When Trey finally makes new friends in Boxelder will he put friends or family first?
Overall Rating: 4/5
My daughter and I enjoyed reading this book because of the forged relationships Trey has with his friends. And the struggle that he faces to do what is right or what he has been taught. I think other readers would enjoy this book due to the mystery and intrigue. Young readers can also relate to the dynamic that Trey has between his family and friends. I appreciated how Korman has a panache for great character development which adds to the story line.
