Capture the Flag

Capture the Flag

by Kate Messner
This book starts with a heist of the original American flag that inspired "The Star-Spangled Banner" from the Smithsonian. Meanwhile, complete strangers, Anna, Jose, and Henry are snowed in together at a Washington D.C. airport when news stations announce that the famous flag has been stolen! Anna, certain that the culprits must be snowed in too, recruits Henry and Jose to help catch the thieves. As the snow starts clearing, Anna, Jose, and Henry find themselves in a dangerous race against time (and the weather!) to prevent the loss of an American treasure.
