Plot
A school bus full of 5- and 6-year-old children is hijacked by several terrorists (including Miro and led by Artkin). Kate tries desperately throughout the book to free the children by talking to Miro. She notices that Miro, unlike Artkin, has feelings. Kate plays this characteristic of Miro to her advantage, and begins to flirt with him and feign interest in him. By the end she ends up truly caring about him. As the story begins, it seems to focus on Ben, but he turns out to be a minor character. The end reveals a surprising, but almost angering twist.
