Code of Honor by Alan Gratz (Realistic Fiction)

In this book Kamran smith is the best - he is a star football player. His brother Darius is a part of the army. Darius is being accused of being a terrorist, but Karman knows that he can't be. Darius is filming treat videos against the USA. In those videos Darius puts secret messages that only Kamren knows based on a game they played when they were little. Kamran has to decode the videos and help save his brother who is being held hostage by the terrorist. During all of this their parents are sitting home getting a lot of hate.  

What I liked about this book is how the siblings where there for each other. In most books the siblings hate each other. What I did not like was how the parents did not seem to care about Kamran and they let him leave by himself to try to save his brother. It does not seem realistic to me. Any one in middle school will love this book. When I read this book, it made me think about the people in the army who are risking their lived for us. I was happy that we have a good army that cares for the country.
