Synopsis
When Ted and Kat watched their cousin Salim get on board the London Eye, he turned and waved before getting on. But after half an hour it landed and everyone trooped off - but no Salim. Where could he have gone? How on earth could he have disappeared into thin air? So Ted and his older sister, Kat, become sleuthing partners, since the police are having no luck. Despite their prickly relationship, they overcome their differences to follow a trail of clues across London in a desperate bid to find their cousin. And ultimately it comes down to Ted, whose brain works in its own very unique way, to find the key to the mystery. This is an unputdownable spine-tingling thriller - a race against time.
Review
This is a brilliant book by Siobham Dowd, about a brother and sister and their visiting cousin who comes down from Manchester and loves high buildings, so they agree to visit the London Eye and take the trip on this big wheel that looks more like a bike wheel than a ferris wheel. Thats when the mystery begins Their cousin Salim disappears - but how? and Why?
The police are called and so it evolves into a wondeerfully exciting and mysterious story. Meantime Ted who with his siter Kat is trying to solve the puzzle of their missing cousin, but every time Ted makes a suggestion people just say no not now Ted! The reason for this response is because Ted always comes out with wonderful and wierd ideas and they don't know how to take them most of the time because Ted is Autistic, but his crosswired brain gives the police the solutions that they would never have looked at or excepted, Ted says they have to check out what he says, because his brain is wired differently and just may be his thoughts might just get them a solution.
This book is brilliant and just proves that because a person is autistic or on the spectrum their ideas should not be brushed under the carpet sometimes they can see things that a normal human being may never think off.
