Lydia Barnes and the Mystery of the Broken Cross

Lydia screamed, and the lights flickered out . . .

Lydia Barnes is not your typical 14-year-old.

Sure, she plays her iPod nonstop and rolls her eyes at her dad's dumb jokes--but she also finds herself dodging lion attacks, outwitting rebel warriors, and heading up globe-trotting adventures.
On a trip to Israel with her adventurous father, Frank Barnes, Lydia finds herself narrowly escaping terrorist attacks. And when money is stolen from a Christian relief agency, all the evidence points to her! With long-distance help from her geeky friend Ben, Lydia must sort out the clues and try to find the truth. Before the terrorists strike again!
