Sneak (novel)
''Sneak'' is an apocalyptic fiction novel written by Evan Angler and published in 2012. The second book in the Swipe series, it is aimed at a middle grade audience.
==Plot Summary==
13-year-old Logan Langly is wanted by DOME (the Department of Marked Emergencies) for escaping after he flunked his citizenship Pledge. After spending a month running from DOME and hiding in the woods, he finds that the political situation in his section of the American Union, formerly the United States, has worsened quickly. Not only is the country now a part of the Global Union, but DOME is cracking down on the Unmarked—those who have refused to Pledge—and arresting them for any crime, however minor. Those arrested are never heard from again. And Logan, it appears, is the source of the problem. As the only Unmarked person to have escaped a Pledge, his very existence is both an embarrassment and a threat to the government, which is determined to hunt him down. Even the Unmarked are divided in their attitudes toward Logan. Some of them respect him for taking action against DOME, but others resent the trouble he has caused.
Logan wants to avoid arrest for more than one reason. His sister Lily disappeared after her Pledge five years earlier, and Logan believes she is being held in a prison called Acheron in Beacon City, the capital of the American Union. He is determined to rescue her, no matter the cost. Lily's old friend Daniel Peck wants to aid in the rescue, but his friends, the Dust, are not so keen on the idea. Logan's actions in ''Swipe'' cost them their home—twice—and they object to the risk of getting involved with him again, especially since Logan's plan will require, at the very least, a dangerous cross-country trip.
Meanwhile, Erin Arbitor discovers that all her efforts to help catch Peck and reform Logan have failed to save her father's job. She had envisioned a happy family reunion in Beacon City, but now her parents's marriage seems even worse, and Logan seems to be gone forever. Erin has one hope left. She knows that Logan wants to find his sister in Beacon City. If Erin can find Lily, then Logan should not be far behind. But Erin's hacking investigation turns up some information that she did not expect—information that could, if ignored, jeopardize Logan and Peck's rescue mission. Erin's past betrayals make it difficult for Logan and Peck to trust her again. But, in the end, Erin is the only one who understands the true nature of Acheron.
