BOOK BLURB:
When Emmaline Cagney’s father dies on her graduation day,
she foregoes college and heads to Honduras to volunteer with Nicaraguan
refugees. It’s 1986. The Sandinista-Contra war rages in the jungles all around
her. But when General James Wilkinson reenters her life during a hurricane, can
she trust him? Or should she flee?
Because of his unsolved death, Wilkinson is stuck in an
in-between world called Nowhere, a place he’s always used for his evil designs.
Will he stick to his mission to help the Contras? Or will he ditch his mission
to finally possess Emmaline?
As they fight to keep refugees safe and American involvement
with the Contras secret from Congress, Em and Wilkinson careen toward a
showdown that outstrips space and time, a place where nothing she knew about
herself is true. And Em must confront the one person she never wanted to see
again: her craven mother. Will Emmaline outwit the two people who peddled her
childhood innocence before she runs out of time?
I Am Number 13 is the third book in the Nowhere
Series, a speculative blend of riveting suspense, forgotten history, and a dash
of paranormal fiction. If you like edge-of-your-seat action, compelling
characters, and white-knuckle emotion, you’ll love the latest installment in
Andra Watkins’ page-turning series.
