Publisher Description
Nicki Demere is an orphan and a pickpocket. She also happens to be the U.S. Marshals’ best bet to keep a family alive. . . . The marshals are looking for the perfect girl to join a mother, father, and son on the run from the nation’s most notorious criminals. After all, the bad guys are searching for a family with one kid, not two, and adding a streetwise girl who knows a little something about hiding things may be just what the marshals need. Nicki swears she can keep the Trevor family safe, but to do so she’ll have to dodge hitmen, cyberbullies, and the specter of standardized testing, all while maintaining her marshal-mandated B-minus average. As she barely balances the responsibilities of her new identity, Nicki learns that the biggest threats to her family’s security might not lurk on the road from New York to North Carolina, but rather in her own past. Jake Burt’s debut middle-grade novel Greetings from Witness Protection! is as funny as it is poignant.

“Narrator Tara Sands brings this debut middle grade novel to life with heart and humor. A supporting cast adds icing to the cake. Sands is the voice of thirteen-year-old Nicki…[and] gives Nicki, a.k.a. Charlotte, a realistic teenage voice, one moment flippant and overconfident and the next overwhelmed by the pressure to fit into a new life and keep her new family safe. Arthur Morey and Danny Campbell add a little spice as the villain and his lawyer, who plot to locate the family, while Olivia Mackenzie-Smith provides a tone of normalcy to the adventure.”
