SAVE THE ENEMY

Book ID/图书代码: 11518013B66270

English Summary/英文概要: Everything has been downhill since Zoey Trask’s mother was murdered in a random mugging. Her younger brother, Ben, is on the autistic spectrum and needs constant supervision. It’s senior year, and she’s the new girl at a weird private school in Old Town Alexandria, VA, full of kids who seem too nice to be true—including a very cute boy named Pete. Aside from half-forgotten martial arts and survivalist skills that her widowed father insisted on teaching her (because that is excellent for her social life), Zoey has nothing to offer Pete or anyone else.

Then Dad is kidnapped. Zoey suddenly finds herself sole caretaker of a younger brother she barely understands. Worse, Ben seems to hold the key to their father’s disappearance in his Dream Diary, a bizarre journal of names and places Ben claims that their mother shares from beyond the grave. And as if Zoey doesn’t have enough on her plate, there’s Pete, who stubbornly refuses to leave her side.

Relying on the skills she never wanted to learn—Dad might have had his reasons after all—Zoey is plunged into a lethal battle to rescue her father, protect her brother, and determine the identity of her family’s true enemy.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 自从Zoey Trask的母亲在一起任意抢劫案中被谋杀后,家里的一切都崩塌了。 她的弟弟Ben,是一位患有孤独症的且需要不断照顾的患儿。在即将迈入毕业岁月之时,她是维吉尼亚州,亚历山大老城区新的一所古怪的私立学校的新到女生,这里所有的孩子看上去好的虚假,这其中就包括一名名叫Peter的可爱男孩。 除了她寡居的父亲坚持要传授她,已经忘了一半的生存技能和武术,(因为那对她的社交生活百利而无一害), Zoey对Peter或任何人都没有提及此事。
随着爸爸遭遇绑架。 Zoey突然发现自己是无法沟通弟弟的唯一看护。 更糟糕的是,Ben似乎出父亲【梦境日志】中失踪谜案的关键线索,而Ben却声称,日记中一连串奇怪的名字和地点,全源自他地下坟墓的母亲。 而更让Zoey分身乏术的是,倔强的Peter拒绝离她而去。
依靠父亲有着某种莫名理由,而强加给她的生存技能,Zoey陷入了一场解救父亲,保护孱弱的弟弟,和最终决定要找出与这个家为敌的真正敌人的艰辛战斗。(Sandy)
