Code of Honor by Alan Gratz

4.0

---

When 17 year old Kamran's idolized older brother Darius, an Army Ranger, is accused of being a terrorist, appearing in Al Qaeda videos clearly taking their side, Kamran refuses to believe it. But then he's interrogated by Homeland Security and accused of being a traitor too, despite his protests that he knows Darius is innocent and he thinks he has proof. Kamran's just going to have to break out of a secure CIA facility on his own to prove his brother's innocence. This is an action-packed book, a counter-terrorism adventure, a story of traitors and of loyalty and patriotism, and a story of the strong bond between two brothers. Nice short chapters with cliffhanger endings, similar in style to James Patterson, sure to hook reluctant readers. An interesting premise set in today's headlines. Great for middle and high school readers.
