Themes

Solving Problems Without Parental Guidance

Ted and Kat want to find Salim, but their parents have no clue where he is, feel too stressed to be of much help, and try to prevent them from participating in the search. The siblings find a way around the adults and overcome their own tense relationship to solve the mystery and save their cousin.

When Salim disappears, Ted and Kat at first blame themselves: He disappears while with them, and they fear he’s gotten lost. Soon enough, though, they realize that he either ran away or was kidnapped.

They try to figure out what happened, and they want to discuss it with their parents and Aunt Gloria. Though the adults inform the police, they otherwise have no ideas for locating Salim and focus instead on their emotional distress. Salim’s mother, Gloria, feels especially distraught, and Faith and Ben focus much of their attention on taking care of her. Kat and Ted manage to talk their father into taking them again to the London Eye, where they prove that Salim couldn’t have stayed in his capsule for an extra ride.
