Our book recommendation for the letter V for YA is... Vortex
Code Red #6 Available in book format
Ben Tracey is the main character in the Code Red series. He is a teenage boy who comes from Macclesfield in England. Ben’s father is a scientist and his mother is an environmental activist, so Ben has some pretty strong environmental ethics.
In this story Ben is on a birdwatching (twitching) holiday with his cousin Annie, when they see a man in an RAF uniform shooting a Hen Harrier, an endangered bird. They find this very puzzling, and when they meet an old man who tells them about his ‘conspiracy theories’ around the RAF training base Spadeadam, they decide to sneak into the base to see what’s going on there. They find themselves in serious danger once they get into the base, and they find out things that they are not supposed to know.
Read the book to see what happens to Ben and Annie. What is happening at the base that is so secret? Will they be able to save the Hen Harriers and will they escape detection?
Read the other books in the series to find out about the exciting but life-threatening adventures that Ben encounters in his travels. These books are oldies but goodies for those of us who like adventures.
