Thriller
The overriding household mantra in the Booker household is: Pay attention. Notice what’s right. Notice what’s wrong. Do what needs to be done.
The Booker siblings — fifteen-year-old Belinda, twelve-year-old Jack and six-year-old Emmy — discover a corpse in the forest near their remote western Oregon home. With their parents away fighting wildfires in Alaska and a seemingly withered aunt running the household, the kids think they are on their own as they uncover a secret militia caching weapons in the woods and bent on government sabotage. When their aunt goes missing and a deputy sheriff actively obstructs their effort to find her, the Bookers become targets themselves in a deadly struggle. But the “Booker Rebellion” has another tale woven through the intrigue, one that reveals how Belinda, Jack and Emmy have become resourceful and self-reliant enough to tackle what comes their way. Free-range kids, they are the offspring of war veterans still serving in the National Guard, and the overriding household mantra can be summed up thusly: Pay attention. Assess. Do what needs to be done. Clay and Mimi Booker. may be physically absent, but their wisdom whispers through the story. And that withered aunt? She is not what she appears.
