Five stepsiblings must escape their foreign captors in this
breathtaking second book in the Stanley Family series, a companion
to "The Headless Cupid," from three-time Newbery Honor winner Zipha
Keatley Snyder.
The Stanley family is moving to Italy David, Janie, and twins
Esther and Blair are thrilled. But their moody stepsister Amanda,
thwarted from spending time in California with her father, spends
the trip alternately moping or boasting about how rich her father
is. And precocious Janie translates everything Amanda says to all
the neighbors.
But such bragging does not go unnoticed. One terrible night, the
children are kidnapped. David tries to make friends with the
kidnappers to protect his family. But that's hard to do when Janie
lectures them on how to write a ransom note and Esther complains
about the terrible food. Can David and Amanda use their siblings'
hijinks to outsmart the kidnappers?
