I plowed through this book on my drive home from vacation and thoroughly enjoyed this installment! Lee Grant’s (aka Luke) brother, Smits, has come to Hendricks to be with him. What follows is a growing concern that Smits will reveal Lee’s true identity and bring the Population Police down on him. After a fire threatens the students at Hendricks, Lee and Smits are asked to return home to the Grant residence. Are they returning for their own safety or is there a larger plot at play?

Honestly - wish I would have continued this series as a child. I would have LOVED it.  But as an adult, it's falling short.  KIDS WILL LOVE THIS - don't let my review sway that.
