Caught Author:Willo Davis Roberts Vickie has a reputation for doing crazy, thoughtless things. But she doesn't appreciate her grandmother's constant reminder of it, and she hates the fact that her mother is away on business and her grandmother is in charge. Nothing has been the same since Vickie's father left; and he is gone, Vickie knows, mostly because ... more »he doesn't like her grandmother.
Fed up, knowing that her mother will not be home for a week, and sure she can't stand her grandmother that long, Vickie decides to run away and visit her father. But she can't get away without taking her younger sister, Joanie. So the two of them rob their piggy banks, steal out of the house, buy bus tickets, and make the thousand-mile journey from Washington State to northern California -- only to find that their father is not in the apartment he had rented a few weeks earlier.
Not only is he not there when they arrive, but he doesn't come home that night or the next day. Where is he? Who is the man who might have stolen into the apartment in the night? Who is the stranger seen hurrying down the staircase? And what do the strange clues in the apartment suggest might have happened there? Soon Vickie and Joanie, along with their new friend, Jake, are worried not only about their father but about their own danger. Has Vickie simply done another crazy thing, or is it possible that their father needs their help?« less
