The Door of No Return by Sarah Mussi - OPTIONAL


Mussi, Sarah The Door of No Return, 391 p. McElderry (Simon), 2009.

Violence: PG

MS – OPTIONAL

Zac Baxter loves his grandfather, but he thinks his weird stories about being the son of a king and about hidden treasure are just the mutterings of a crazy old man. Then his grandfather is murdered, all of his possessions are stolen and someone is trying to frame Zac for something he never did. Zac figures that the only way to find peace is to actually prove his grandfather either right or wrong, but clues are slim and they all lead to a dangerous situation in Ghana. Zac will have to retrace his ancestor’s steps through a slave fort, uncovering secrets and putting everyone around him into danger.

Mussi has taken real events and places from history and created a tale of intrigue, peril and betrayal by the very government of Britain.
