Zeke with his best friend, Pow Wow Gao, really named Richard, is in New York City to participate in the in-line skating contest throughout the city. While getting refreshments, Zeke and Pow Wow are witnesses to a purse being snatched from an elderly lady by another skater, who is dressed all in green. Zeke follows the skater while Pow Wow stays with the injured woman. Zeke desperately follows the skater to an abandoned warehouse and watches as the purse is examined. When Zeke spies a prescription bottle, he logically concludes that the elderly woman probably needs her medication or she wouldn’t have kept it with her. Zeke then successfully sneaks in and takes the pill bottle. When he returns and the woman is in the hospital though, the label from the container is missing, but the medicine helps greatly so that the hospital then knows what she was taking.

Zeke Armstrong has a knack of being at just the right place when he is needed most. Zeke is a wonderful heroic example for all. He attempts to help others and keeps his priorities of caring at the top of his character.

This is a perfect book to be read aloud in the classroom. Each chapter is fairly short and filled with action. Also, almost every chapter ends in a cliff hanger.

Green Streak is the sequel to the Agatha Award-winning Red Card.

Daniel Hale with his nephew, Matthew LaBrot, are now collaborating on the next book in this series called White Out. Both live in Texas.
