Genre: Middle Reader Fiction
My Rating: 7/10
The London Eye is a gigantic ferris wheel in London that takes a full 30 minutes to go around one time. Ted and his sister Kat, have been on the Eye before but their cousin has never gone. As the three kids wait in line for the ferris wheel, a stranger approaches and gives them a free ticket. Salim takes it since he's never ridden before while Ted and Kat stay back. They watch their cousin get on the ride and even watch the car he's in... but when it gets back to the ground, Salim doesn't get off! Panic soon sets in and parents call the police, but Ted feels as though something just isn't right.
Ted is used to people ignoring him - he thinks differently, and he knows it. (It seems as though Ted has Asperger's Syndrome or something similar although it is never stated in the story.) He's sure that all the pieces to the puzzle are there... if only he could sort them out! As Ted and Kat piece together what really happened the day that Salim disappeared, they begin to uncover another issue that adds more characters to the mystery.
