|title=A Slightly Jones Mystery: The Case of the Hidden City
|summary=At last! A long-awaited sequel to Nancy Farmer's acclaimed ''House of the Scorpion'', in which she explored the life of a little boy who was created solely to provide organs for the failing body of a drug lord. Matt's story was exciting and heartbreaking - would you want to find out you were a clone? It was also incredibly thought-provoking, exploring ideas of prejudice, power, courage, love and sacrifice. And it all took place in a dystopian future in which the drug trade was all but legitimised and in which people are enslaved by microchips in the brain.
