Blink is a homeless boy on the streets. Caution is a girl living with a drug dealer and running from her own private guilt. However, when Blink finds a cell phone in a hotel room, he stumbles into a strange puzzle regarding a kidnapping where the facts don't quite add up. Soon, Cuation is pulled into the mix as well, and she and Blink work together to solve this mystery.
I was pretty pleased with Blink & Caution. Wynne-Jones alternates writing the book from Caution and Blink's point of view, and this choice helped pick up. I also greatly enjoyed the plot--it was a well-written thriller that reminded me of Stieg Larsson's Millenium Trilogy in terms of secrets and puzzles. Definetely check it out if you're looking for something quick. I would not recommend it for younger teens, but eighth graders and above could handle it.
