Fugitive — Edward Packard

Two weeks in New York City with your cool 25-year-old uncle Henry--freedom, at last! Your parents weren't crazy about the idea, but they're going to Japan and aren't about to leave you at home alone. But when you get to the city, things go horribly wrong. You're kidnapped by a gang of thugs that forces you to help them pull off a jewel heist. Next thing you know, your face is plastered all over the front pages of every New York City newspaper. You're on the run, accused of a crime you didn't mean to commit--how can you prove you're innocent?
