CHAPPAQUA, N.Y., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Today's kids live fast-paced lives fueled by rapid-fire media and technology. To pre-teens, life is most interesting when filled with daily action and adventure--even if it's only online. Now, CONSPIRACY 365 is about to grab middle-grade readers' attention, taking them into a fast-moving world of mystery, intrigue, and danger. From the opening sentence, this monthly book series draws readers into the life of Callum, a 15-year-old whose year unfolds with daily dangers and challenges. Book One opens as his ordinary teen life spins out of control -- into a hostile world that puts his very survival at stake. Readers will share the adventure as the story unfolds in books, on www.conspiracy365us.com, and via social networking with the story's characters.
Author Gabrielle Lord and her publisher describe CONSPIRACY 365 as the biggest and most exciting project of their careers. "We see this as a cross between '24' and The Da Vinci Code because it involves both constant action in real time and the unraveling of a mystery," says Kira Lynn, of Kane Miller.
Join Cal on an ordinary morning, December 31, 2009, and find out why his 2010 may last one day, one month, or all year. Can he save himself and those he loves? From the words, "They killed your father," at the start of CONSPIRACY 365: January, Cal struggles to learn the dangerous family secrets his father discovered that have put lives at risk. Mysterious packages, messages, drawings, abductions, and attacks turn Cal into a fugitive as he tries to evade his enemies, untangle his father's clues, and complete his mission. At the end of month one, Cal is trapped, with no obvious way to escape. CONSPIRACY 365: February continues the story....
Gabrielle Lord, one of Australia's best-selling crime writers, uses the classic serial format to engage readers in a year of suspense and thrills. Kids can follow Cal day-by-day in real time, if they can tear themselves away without devouring entire books in one sitting.
Kane Miller's dedicated interactive companion website, www.conspiracy365us.com, will feature book excerpts, games, video trailers, giveaways and links to social networking sites of the main characters.
