From the publisher

This bestselling classic novel about bullying gone awry from three time Edgar Award-winning author Willo Davis Roberts is a “fast-paced mystery [that] unfolds with suspense and excitement” (School Library Journal). I didn’t like Willie Groves, but I didn’t hate him enough to want someone to kidnap him. Famous last words. Joey Bishop soon finds himself face-to-face with the kidnappers–and his archenemy–in this fast-paced story that will leave you glued to the edge of your seat.
