Three kids get caught up in an adventure of historic proportions!
Anna, José, and Henry are complete strangers with more in common than they realize. Snowed in together at a chaotic Washington D.C. airport, they encounter a mysterious tattooed man, a flamboyant politician, and a rambunctious poodle named for an ancient king. Even stranger, news stations everywhere have announced that the famous flag that inspired "The Star-Spangled Banner" has been stolen! Anna, certain that the culprits must be snowed in too, recruits Henry and José to help catch the thieves and bring them to justice.
But when accusations start flying, they soon realize there's more than justice at stake. As the snow starts clearing, Anna, José, and Henry find themselves in a race against time (and the weather!) to prevent the loss of an American treasure.

I think this is a really good book because I really like mysteries. And this was kinda of a mystery. It was about Anna, Jose, and Henry got stuck at an airport. They were trying to figure out who stole the flag. I think it was Jose that got lost. So Anna and Henry were trying to find him and run away from Snake-Arm. I recommend this book for people who like mystery books or some kind of adventure book.
Anna, Jose, and Henry got stranded at the airport. News reporters every where ay that the flag has been stolen. Anna, Jose, and Henry try to find a way to return the American flag. In the end they succeed and figure out that Senator Sinickerbottom and his crew stole it.
wow. it is just amazing
I am reading this book! I don't know why I even chose to read this book. I am only in the beginning of the book. I only read 2 pages. LOL! I will try finishing it by next week.
I really want to read this book
This is a great book, when I read it I was sick and I finished it in one day, it was really hard to put down, i highly recommend it!
This book is so phenomanal that I don't have enough good words to describe it. In the book, Anna, Jose and Henry find out that they have something in common and maybe if they sat down and chatted a little they might find out that they were desined to be together. But that is not how it happened.... You will have to read to find the answer.
I know, Capture The Flag is SO good!!
This book is amazing from the beginning to end. I couldn't stop reading it. It's about 3 kids Anna, Jose, Henry that all go to Washington D.C. Something horrible and very surprising happens: The original Star Spangled Banner has been stolen. A storm has struck and all the planes are delayed. Anna knows that the thief must be stuck in the airport too. Can she convince Jose and Henry to help her? But is the job to hard for them? On their journey to find the flag they meet a crazy poodle, a mysterious snake-arm man, and a soon-to-be president. Can they stop the culprits from escaping? In this intense novel you'll find out. It will take you on an adventure you'll never forget. I give Capture The Flag 5 stars.
