Car-Jacked
Ali Sparkes (, Southampton, UK)
Jack Mattingly is a genius.
He has an IQ of 170.
He speaks fluent Mandarin and Latin.
And he can calculate the square root of 1,673,549 in his head.
But when Jack’s parents’ car is hi-jacked, with him inside it, for once he’s as clueless as the rest of us. The car-jacker doesn’t know Jack’s in the car – yet. But it’s only a matter of time before he’s discovered. And then anything could happen. Only one thing’s for sure: Jack’s in for the thrill-ride of his life . . .
A high-octane adventure from the winner of the Blue Peter Book of the Year Award.

Good adventure story, where genius boy gets accidentally taken when his family car is hijacked by a loyal family loving Glaswegian bank robber. They build a lovely friendship while Jack’s parents fall apart (especially his mum) and the police are trying to catch up with them.

I thought that this book was really good, I rate it 5/5. I thought that it was such a good story with a great twist right at the end! My favourite person was Ross because he was very kind to Jack and he only wanted to help his brother and not cause any harm. Also he was very gentle with people and was not horrible at all! I would definitely recommend!!

I really liked the book and it was a page-turner. It was about a man called Ross who tried to hijack a car and when he got the car and drove for a bit, a little e boy was in the car at the same time.

I like Jack Mattingly as he is determined to help Ross McAllister even though he car-jacked his family. He is funny, intelligent and some times a bit stupid! It has an amazing storyline and I really recommend it.
