From Publishers Weekly

Zach Granger has to tell many lies; for one, his name is really Jack Osborne, and for another his parents aren't divorced rather, his father, a pilot, is in prison for transporting drugs for a ruthless cartel. When his father agrees to cooperate with the DEA, his family goes into a witness protection program, with new names and a new home in Elko, Nev. Will they be safe from the cartel? Smith (Thunder Cave; Jaguar) paints a realistic picture of Zach's complicated emotions: he misses his father and his old life, he's nervous about making a mistake and he is uncomfortable lying, especially to his new girlfriend, Catalin. He also takes to his new surroundings, especially Catalin's grandfather's sheep camp in the mountains, and the friendly hotel that's home to Sam, the warm and wise custodian of Zach's school. Smith keeps the tensions high: readers will suspect right away that the detailed journals Zach keeps are going to lead to trouble, and will understand the hero's anxiety when lines from it begin to appear on his classroom's chalkboard. Drug lord Alonzo Aznar is a stereotypical bad guy (he has a ponytail, dresses all in black and "likes getting his hands dirty from time to time") and Sam's confession that he is a former KGB spy feels too convenient. But these are small caveats; readers are sure to be caught up in Zach's suspenseful adventure. Ages 10-14.

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-9-In this contemporary suspense novel, Jack's father, a pilot, has been arrested for drug trafficking. When the cartel thugs come to their house to terrorize the teen, his mother, and his sister, they become candidates for the Witness Security Program and must change their identities. Although the family is told not to bring anything to Nevada that would link them to their former lives, Jack, now Zach, cannot leave his diary behind. With the villains searching for them, there can be no slipups, but the young protagonist soon learns that, in the small town of Elko, "Everyone knows Everything about Everybody." The diary and Zach's vulnerability are well-developed devices, but the plot soon becomes compromised by some unbelievable twists and turns. Zach is befriended by the school custodian, Sam, who acts as the principal's assistant, handling disciplinary cases with counseling and boxing therapy. Sam introduces Zach to the Basque people, sheep tenders in the hills outside town, who conveniently provide a hiding place for Zach when the bad guys arrive. In the biggest stretch of all, Sam outwits the thugs with talents he acquired as a KGB agent. Other details and characters merely set up the chain of events, which is unfortunate because individual chapters are often exciting, and there is a great potential to satisfy suspense fans.

This review is from: Zach's Lie (Paperback)
ZACH'S LIE by: Roland Smith

Zach's Lie is about a boy named Jack whose father owns his own flying business. After a while of running his business, he realizes that he has to start flying more if he still wants to support his family. He meets this guy by the name of Alonzo Aznar who is a drug dealer and has his father Jack senior fly his drugs around. After a while of doing this he gets into trouble and his home gets broken into and his family gets all taped up and ransacked. Jack is now in prison and his family has to be put into the witness protection program and moved to Elko, Nevada, where they become known as the Grangers, Jacks name is now Zach, and his sister's name is now Wanda. After a couple of months Alonzo finds out where the family is and tracks them down. Zach and his new friends Catalin and the janitor of his school "Sam" have to do their best to not confront the drug dealers.

I give this book five stars, because of the way that the author keeps you wanting to turn the pages and never put this book down. The author writes this book in an amazing and compelling way. I would recommend this book to who ever likes a thrilling and fantastic read.

This review is from: Zach's Lie (Paperback)
I highly recommend the book _Zach's Lie_ by Roland Smith. I enjoyed it very much. I enjoy suspenseful adventure books that have a sense of reality. This book shares the story or a young boy and his family's life, when their world is turned upside down. The author always keeps a surprise right around the corner, and the reader never knows if Zach's going to make it or ruin everything. The author also does a good job of making the reader feel for Zach. As I watched him try to start his life over, make new friends, and have a crush on a girl in his class; I could not help but feel as if I knew exactly what he was feeling.
If you enjoy suspenseful, realistic stories, this is a book for you. If you don't mind a sad book, you will enjoy the adventure Zach and his family encounter. After a life threatening encounter and a life changing realization, Zach, his mother, and his sister leave their father and their lives to start over. You follow Zach on his new adventures in his new life as he tries to cope with his situation. The book ends as if it was just beginning and leaves you wanting to read more.
