Ellen Streater and her brother Corey should have had a great time at the county fair. After all, the fair is packed with rides, games, food-and a thief. Or so Corey claims. Ellen doesn't believe his wild story that he saw a pickpocket while he was on the ferris wheel or the fortune teller's warning that "the smaller one faces great danger"-until Corey disappears. Ellen knows she has to find her brother before anything happens to him, but she doesn't realize someone is stalking her. As Ellen wades through the terrifying River of Fear ride, desperately searching for Corey, someone is following her-someone who is willing to go to any length to protect a deadly secret. "Ellen and Corey are back, this time sharing a thrill-a-minute adventure set at a county fair. . . . Fast-paced and suspenseful." (Booklist)
