Code of Honor by Alan Gratz

Kamran Smith’s senior year is going great!  He’s a star player on the football team and the season is going exceptionally well.  Julia, his girlfriend, and Kamran have just been named Homecoming Queen & King. Kam just has a few more touches to add to his application for West Point.  He plans to follow in his older brother, Darius’s footsteps; graduate from West Point and join the Army Rangers.  Life couldn’t be better in sunny Phoenix, Arizona. That is until everything comes crashing down when Darius Smith is accused of being a terrorist. Has Darius really joined al-Queda?  Is he responsible for recent terrorist attacks? Kamran knows in his gut this can’t be true.  What about their Code of Honor?

Be the strongest of the strong.

Be the bravest of the brave.

Help the helpless.

Always tell the truth.

Be loyal.

Never give up.

Kill all monsters.

When Homeland Security gets involved, Kamran knows he must be loyal to Darius and prove his innocence. Kamran will have to live the code to save his brother.
