Grade 8 Up–Petty thief and slacker extraordinaire Evan Macalister is back for more international espionage in this sequel to Finding Lubchenko (Penguin, 2005). Just when the teen thinks his life is getting back to normal, he is again dragged into the world of bioterrorism. After his father leaves for an emergency trip to Brussels, Evan gets a mysterious phone call telling him that his fathers business partner, Mr. Richmond, will be transporting a shipment of live smallpox virus to Switzerland to sell to a terrorist group. The anonymous caller also informs him that Mr. Richmond plans to murder his dad, as well as Evan and his two friends. He decides that the best course of action is to blow off summer school, convincing Erika and Ruben to jet off to Europe with him to save the day. Chaos ensues as the trio quickly learns that Mr. Richmonds henchmen are more ruthless than they had thought and that they are in way over their heads. Reading like an action movie, this sequel packs just as much punch as the first book. Evan is as contemptuous as ever, making sure to stay true to his smart-mouthed self even at the most inopportune moments. Thanks to a precise summary of the previous events, this book can stand alone, but readers new to the story would be missing out on much of the fun. One can only hope for another installment.–Michelle Roberts, Merrick Library, NY
