Easy read, great page turner

This book is belongs to specialized genre of high interest/low vocabulary books for young adults who cannot read easily or for whom English is a second language. Complex sentences and five syllable words are a no no. The goal is to entice the reader to turn the pages-something this author has accomplished with such great skill that even readers of average ability will enjoy this realistic, fast moving yarn about state troopers. The plot flies in more ways than one, as a teenage girl reluctantly moves in with her state trooper brother and becomes acquainted with a boy whose father is a helicopter pilot. I discovered this book the year of publication, when it was recommended by the American Library Association in a short list of only twenty of its kind. This is a great way to introduce a non-book reader to the joys of fiction.
