Synopsis

Nicki Demere is an orphan and a pickpocket. She also happens to be the U.S. Marshals’ best bet to keep a family alive. . . .

The marshals are looking for the perfect girl to join a mother, father, and son on the run from the nation’s most notorious criminals. After all, the bad guys are searching for a family with one kid, not two, and adding a streetwise girl who knows a little something about hiding things may be just what the marshals need.

Nicki swears she can keep the Trevor family safe, but to do so she’ll have to dodge hitmen, cyberbullies, and the specter of standardized testing, all while maintaining her marshal-mandated B-minus average. As she barely balances the responsibilities of her new identity, Nicki learns that the biggest threats to her family’s security might not lurk on the road from New York to North Carolina, but rather in her own past.

Jake Burt's debut middle-grade novel Greetings from Witness Protection! is as funny as it is poignant.

The other teenagers didn't seem lik......more

Goodreads review by Anna on March 07, 2017

What do you get when you take a thirteen year old girl with kleptomania out of foster care, give her a Taser and a new name, and put her in witness protection with a family that the mob is after? Heartfelt wonderfulness! Hilarity! Suspense! Much Tasering! I've been looking forward to GREETINGS FROM W......more

Goodreads review by Nic on April 12, 2017

I'd been looking forward to this book since I first least about it in fall 2016, and it did not disappoint. Nicki Demere, a group home occupying orphan with legitimate (and super well-drawn, if you ask me) kleptomania that manifests as pickpocketing, life is forever changed when she finds out she's......more

Goodreads review by Chautona on March 14, 2023

The premise told me I should really enjoy this book; however, I had no idea what a delightful read it would be. Charlotte is such a wonderful character that I don't know where to begin. Maybe it's that Jake Burt managed to create a realistic mixture of strength and weakness in her. Any girl who has......more
