Spylark by Danny Rurlander

Tom struggles with his mobility but his love of drone building helps him escape the confines of his house. He uses his drone, named Skylark, to travel up and down the countryside near where he lives. It's unique because it's something that Tom himself has built and is very proud of. Then one day he stumbles upon something sinister, a terrorist plot that puts a lot of people in danger. The problem is that nobody believes him. Help arrives when Maggie and Joel, children who are staying with their parents at Tom's aunt's cottage, join him in his quest to foil the plot.
In over the heads, the kids must use all of their brains and resilience to overcome a seriously dangerous mission. 
I loved Spylark, it's the perfect book for students looking for a fun, full throttle escape. We all wanted to be the heroes, the kids who outsmarted the adults at their own game, Spylark does this and more, it gives voice to a great character in Tom and shows the reader the power of friendship and the importance of not giving up despite the odds. It's a fun, fast read that will go down a storm at Glenthorne High School, can't wait to get it into the hands of our students!
