The Peretz kids are up against a new kind of enemy.

After battling pirates, kidnappers and other scoundrels this past summer, all that the Peretz family wants is a quiet Chanukah vacation in Israel. But on the last day, things start to get strange.

The Peretzes spend their last day visiting the Acra in Jerusalem, a fortress built centuries ago by a Greek tyrant named Antiochus, who was defeated in the story of Chanukah.

Resolved to avenge his great ancestor's loss, the egomaniac manager, Rutvij Rao, has trapped all of the museum's visitors. Nobody leaves until the world acknowledges Rutvij Rao's kingdom.

Yaakov Peretz and his siblings must now find a way to escape from the Acra and to stop Rutvij Rao in his tracks.

Join them on their latest daring adventure, as they race to free the mad dictator's hostages - especially their parents!

Nathaniel Wyckoff was born and raised in the beautiful San Fernando Valley of southern California. From an early age, he was profoundly interested in reading, writing, telling, and listening to stories.

Though he works in a technical field, he counts storytelling among his favorite activities. Nathaniel's storytelling career took flight with the births of his children. His children enjoy all kinds of stories, but most of Nathaniel's stories for them involve zany adventures and confrontations with wacky bullies. Nathaniel's first novel, Yaakov the Pirate Hunter, was inspired by his son's request for a story about robots. It combines elements of science, adventure, and Nathaniel's beloved Jewish tradition. As the Peretz Family Adventures Series continues, Nathaniel's children continue to serve as a source of inspiration.

In addition to writing, the author also enjoys studying his Jewish traditions, reading, playing the accordion and the piano for his family, playing games and sports with his children, and taking his family on hiking trips, camping trips and other adventures.
