    About this ebook

    Twelve-year-old Ashley has trained for years to follow in her parents’ footsteps and become an F.B.I. agent. When a mysterious, seemingly magical stone is stolen, and the F.B.I. needs someone small to retrieve it, she’s ready.Ashley is about to learn that no amount of training can prepare her for what she’ll come across, though. When bullets start flying and flames begin roaring, will she achieve her objective and get herself and the stone out safely?

    Author

    Andrea Pearson

    Andrea, a Brigham Young University graduate, is an avid reader and outdoor enthusiast (hiking, fishing, boating, biking, spending time in the Rocky Mountains, and taking walks). She spent a year and a half serving the Spanish speaking community in Toronto, Canada, and is fluent in 2 1⁄2 languages. She plays several instruments, not including the banjo, and loves putting together musical arrangements. Her favorite sports are basketball and football, though several knee surgeries and incurably awful coordination prevent her from playing them.Andrea is always in the mood for a good movie with close friends and family (especially her husband and mom), with a large glass of milk and a bowl of overly buttered popcorn nearby. She also enjoys oil painting, making earrings, squeezing every bit of oxygen out of Ziploc bags, and she hopes to someday travel to Italy and Alaska.Andrea has published three books.

      Chapter One

      Ashley opened the door to her favorite room in the mansion where she and her parents had just moved. She motioned inside, glancing back at her best friend, Alex. This is where my school and martial arts tutors come.

      Alex shook his head, stepping into the room. You and your martial arts. I don’t know where you get the interest for that from.

      Ashley chuckled. Having retired FBI agents for parents might have something to do with it.

      She was only twelve years old, but she’d been training in several fighting styles and as a gymnast since she was two. It had consumed her life, and she absolutely loved it.

      Yeah, I just wish you hadn’t moved to New York City.

      I know. But it’s only a couple of hours from where we used to live.
