HIJACKED!!     This sixth book in the Jack and Jenny Mystery Series, like the previous books, finds Jack and Jenny Carlton in Hong Kong again. The suspense starts on page one as the reader is introduced to three evil men who are planning the theft of a sacred gold dragon from the local temple. Planning the theft is easy. The big problem is avoiding the effects of an ancient curse on anyone who steals it. Unknowingly, Jack and Jenny and their friends soon find themselves enmeshed in the mysterious disappearance of the sacred gold dragon and that leads to a wild ferry chase between ports of Hong Kong and Macao.

The Carlton twins are back in Hong Kong visiting their friends, Tim and Ruth Chen.  An afternoon of riding bikes once again turns into an adventure for the four friends.  Finding a cave along the beach leads them to uncover an important archaeological discovery, a major drug smuggling ring, and puts them all in danger.  The dangers they encounter gives them a wonderful opportunity to put into practice the Bible verses they have memorized.

Jack & Jenny, the Carlton Twins are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their friends, Ruth and Tim Chen from Hong Kong.  During the Chen's first visit to the United States the children share another adventure in the mountains of Colorado.  Every day brings new excitement as they explore an old mining town, take horseback excursions and encounter a cantankerous old hermit who lives on the mountain with a vicious dog. The twins' natural curiosity and boldness eventually involves them in a dramatic rescue, an encounter with escaped convicts and an opportunity to share their Christian faith changing the life of a most unlikely person.

This third book of the JACK AND JENNY MYSTERY SERIES is a most exciting story of the Carlton twins, Jack and Jenny, who are in Hong Kong again with their friends Tim and Ruth Chen. Jack and Tim discover the warehouse where counterfeiters are producing American bills. The hair-raising escape just in the nick of time will keep the reader on edge of his/her seat while they wonder what could happen next. As the two fathers of the boys go in search for their sons, they have a serious car accident. Mr. Chen is unconscious for a day, but recovers to make the greatest discovery of his life. Strong Christian principles are the basis for this story and teach young people right principles for successful living. It is must reading for 9-14 year olds. This very popular series is making a great impact on young readers. The back ground for the series comes out of my 24 years of living in China, Japan and Hong Kong as a missionary. All facts about Hong Kong and Chinese culture are accurate, but the mystery plot is fictitious.

In this second Jack and Jenny Mystery, the Carlton twins are going to Hong Kong on another business trip with their father. Memories of their involvement with smugglers during their last visit are still vivid in their minds and they are anxious for more adventure. Capture of the Twin Dragon is an exciting story of the hijacking of an armored car and the disappearance of the money. Jack and Jenny and their two friends make a sensational discovery in an old barn, but are captured by the thieves when Jenny sneezes! They attempt an escape and almost succeed, but in the end they are captured again and taken out to the Twin Dragon, a launch in Hong Kong harbor. There is a sensational escape by the girls and a thrilling rescue of the boys as the police launch chases the fleeing Twin Dragon. Through it all, there is the strong emphasis on the mighty power of God to work miracles in rescuing the children and changing lives.

In this first book, Jack and Jenny, the Carlton twins, visit Hong Kong with their parents. Mr. Carlton's company has a large department store in the city. The twins quickly become fast friends of Tim and Ruth Chen who are the children of the Hong Kong branch manager. While visiting a famous floating restaurant, Jack stumbles on a brown pouch during a disturbance taking place as they leave the restaurant.

The police set up an elaborate and dangerous trap to capture the thieves who want to smuggle the huge diamond out of Hong Kong. Jack and Jenny figure prominently in the arrest of the thieves.

This spine-tingling story will keep young readers on edge from beginning to end and will teach strong Christian principles throughout the story. Parents are exceptionally pleased that their children have access to a very exciting book which gets them back to reading. Each book in the series builds on the previous one, but they all stand alone and are complete and exciting mysteries.
