What are four kids stuck together in a snowbound airport waiting for their canceled flights to do? Solve a mystery, of course! Capture the Flag is an adventure from the very first page. I enjoyed the story’s fast pace and memorable characters, and found the book easy to read and tough to put down. I did feel in the end like the mystery was a little too easily solved, and many of the characters felt a little underdeveloped. However, overall I found Capture the Flag to be a quick and enjoyable read—and perfect for the budding journalist or spy!
