Summary from Barrington Stoke
Victor didn't mean to do it - he was just taking some photos. He
couldn't know he'd capture a robbery on film. Now the perpetrators want
the pictures back...
Nayuleska's thoughts
Squee! The only way this book could have
been more awesome was if the protagonist was female. I didn't want any
interruptions while I sat on tenderhooks. I wanted 'stuff' to happen (stuff
being parts of the plot I refuse to say as it would be a spoiler), and when it
did I wasn't disappointed with all the drama! I was a bit surprised by Alfie's
family's reactions, but I guess they were scared. They had every right to be,
only not for the reason I thought. That reason was an awesome twist which I'm
sure Alfie was glad he didn't know all of the facts until after the event.
