I, Q: Independence Hall by Roland Smith is the first book in his IQ series.Q (short for Quest) and his brand new step-sister Angela are being pulled out of school to go with their parents on a tour of the US. There parents have both worked in the music industry for years, but teaming up together put then at the top of the charts. The year is supposed to be spent learning about the history of the US from their tour bus.
Before they even leave San Fransisco, the bus is being followed - and not just by the paparazzi. Angela's mother, a Secret Service agent killed in the line of duty in 2004, taught Angela how to watch for a tail. So when Angela tells Q that they are being followed it doesn't take him long to believe her.
Q has tricks of his own. He has been studying magic since he was six (seven years ago) and together he and Angela should be able to trick the man following them - except that he is a highly trained Mossad assassin.
Smith has begun a series that promised to be a tween James Bond. Q and Angela will soon find themselves deep in the world of espionage and intrigue that would have most adults running from the room screaming. I cannot wait for book 2: The White House due out in June 2010.
