When Salim disappears while riding the London Eye, it is up to his cousins, Ted and Kat to solve the mystery and find Salim.

Book Talk:
The London Eye is a giant ferris wheel located in the middle of London. It takes 30 minutes to travel once around the loop.

Ted and Kat take their cousin Salim up on the London Eye for a ride the day before Salim is to leave for London with his Mother. Ted and Kat watch as Salim boards his car, and then watch it go around, and then stand astounded as they watch people come out of the car- but no Salim. Stunned, Ted and Kat call the police and the massive search for Salim begins.

As chaos reigns in the house, Kat and Ted piece together small pieces of information, looking for clues to Salim's whereabouts.

Can Salim be found in time? Find out in The London Eye Mystery by Siobhan Dowd.
