This novel introduces us to three main characters Ted, his older sister Kat, and their cousin Salim, waiting to ride the London Eye. The London Eye is an observation wheel that allows those locked in the glass-and-steel capsules to see 25 miles in every direction. A stranger from the front of the line offers one free ticket, and since Salim is the visitor he takes it. Ted and Kat see him enter the capsule and follow his ride, but to their shock he doesn’t exit with his fellow riders. Come read with Ms. Allen to find out what happened to Salim!
