What is it about? It is about the Thea sisters going to new York to cheer for Nicky as she runs in the big apple marathon. While they stay in Pamela's family house and have dinner there, they got news that a rodent named Phoenix is burning the houses. When they were exploring the basement of the house they saw a rodent wearing a garbage collector suit and when they got closer to the rodent it ran away from them and they found some red paint and something written on th wall. They also found a letter with a stamp of a skull on it.
How did they solve the problem? They solved the plot by going into the basement of their friend who they think is Phoenix and they found a garbage collector suit, red paint and a stamp of a skull, they chased Phoenix, tied his arms behind him and reported their case and he went to jail.
What did you learn? When Nicky ran the marathon, she saw a competitor slip and fall on the ground and Nicky helped her. I learned that you should always help a person even if you are mad at him or her.
Response: My favorite scene is when Nicky helped Rhonda to get up and finish the marathon because Nicky plays as a good sport, she helps people even if people don't ask her. I also liked the scene when Paulina climed the ladder of the fire truck and jumped on the car of Phoenix just to stop him. I like this book because it shows a very important lesson to learn and understand.
