So far this is the best book in the series. I couldn't stop reading it. It is filled with excitement, action and humor. I definitely recommend it.

"Left Behind" is about the bible prophecy of the `Coming of the Lord' that leaves the world in chaos. The book is an idea how it might actually be like for people who did not believe and are `left behind' after the disappearances of God's loyal subjects he brings to his side. The book is number seven in the series titled "Busted."
The story starts with Vickie who has been found out by Carpathia High, her high school about her Christian activities. They didn't have enough evidence that she was distributing the Underground, a Christian newspaper, but they still convicted her anyway. So they sent her to a detention center where she meets some new friends and then was adopted by the Stein family. This situation is not one a good one and she finally gets help to escape. She is recaptured when she returns to the school she attended. She finds out some news about things she didn't think were true.
Judd visits Israel with his pastor searching for something. Things happen when they arrive back but soon they are all brought back together. Vickie is sent back to the detention center she once left but knowing she has even more people out there caring for her.
To me, all the characters are my favorite. But I will choose only one, Judd is my favorite, because he takes on the responsibility of an adult, even though he is just a teenager All of the other characters respect him, even though they have their problems at times. They think of Judd as a father figure.

I recommend this book to all. Whoever is interested in hearing a story of the end of days on earth I think you should buy the series. I plan on reading the book to the end. To tell you the truth I picked this book just because my teacher wanted us to read a book, but when I started reading I immediately got into it. Now I will buy all the books to see what will happen.

I have really enjoyed this book, it has held my interest the whole time. And every page has a new suprise. I highly recomend this to anyone, you'll enjoy it even more if you read the series.

It's hard to say much about this book without giving away anything important. Picking up where book 6 left off, the four kids are right in the thick of the trouble because of their determination to bring the truth of Jesus Christ to... well, as far as they can. However, things are getting riskier every day with the Global Community and all those who oppose Christianity. In this captivating book it is important to predict who is trustworthy with so many people who are working hard to prevent the distribution of "The Underground" and find evidence against the kids behind it. There are also more developments in Israel fulfilling Biblical prophesies, which lead to a quick trip to Israel for Judd. Then there's Vicki, whose approach to the dangerous and difficult situations she numerously ends up in surprised me and added to the suspense. This book was totally different than I expected it would be; the dangers are obviously increasing, but the incredible faith and determination of the kids allow them to take the risks- which lead to suprising endings. This thrilling sequel is astonishingly real and something you don't want to miss!

This is a really good book. I'm glad that there is a Christian series for kids to read. All of the books are fun to read and have a lot of action in them. I would definetely recommend this book.

The Young Trib Force has had amazing success with "The Underground" but, when Vicki's caught, they must make a decision of whether to continue printing the criminal newspaper.
With Vicki sent to a detention center, the three guys work with Mark and John. Also, a new believer joins the group, while one appears that they should have known all along.
Vicki moves in with a foster family, and discovers the secrets they have tried so hard to hide. Meanwhile, Judd travels with Bruce and discovers the miracle of the two witnesses at the Wailing Wall.
This book brings a lot of more character's in, and is wonderfully written. I loved this book, and there's a great twist that no one could ever guess!

This seventh installment in the Left Behind Kids series finds Vicki and Judd attempting escape as school authorities pursue them relentlessly. At the end of book 6, Vicki was the one caught by the authorities. At the beginning of this seventh book, Vicki makes one last desperate attempt to escape and Judd Thompson Jr, the leader of the Young Tribulation Force, helps her in her attempt. However Vicki is captured and taken to a juvenile detention center, where she finds herself facing persecution.

Meanwhile, the other three post-Rapture teens face more troubles, along with two new friends, John and Mark. As they struggle to spread the Truth behind the global vanishings and warn people of the coming global judgments foretold in Scripture, the noose tightens at Nicolae High and the kids find themselves facing the pressure that threatens to keep the kids from sticking together as a team. They also seek to find out who the insider at the school who is helping them is. In the midst of their troubles, Old Testament prophecies are coming true all around them. Nicolae Carpathia, the one who the kids found to be the Antichrist back in book 4, signs a peace treaty with the nation of Israel, thus signalling the beginning of the seven most chaotic and perilous years mankind will ever see. By the time book 7 comes to its end, Carpathia has established a global regime and gains total control of Earth, decieving the people of the world into believing that he is the world savior, thus fulfilling Revelation chapter 6:1-2. Will the kids stay alive?

Busted is without a doubt one of the best installments in the series. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way through, and it ends with a cliffhanger, as do all the books so far, and makes you eager to read the next book in this series about a group of post-Rapture Christians who struggle to survive in a quickly-dying world. 5 stars.

I started this series because I needed a quick read. My normal books are between 400 and 600 pages so I wanted a break while still being able to read. It blew me away. I have read the entire series sense then. I love sci-fi books. That's why I read this one compared to some other shorter book. I am not a very religious person but I still love it.

My son 11 year old son likes the original Left Behind movies. He wanted to know how the books in the kids series would be so I let him pick one to read. He picked this one and really likes it. Now he wants me to buy more. Looks like these will be on his Christmas list this year.

I would recommend this book to kids who want to learn about the rapture, but do not really understand the book of Revelations. The book is a good book, but I would recommend being in the fifth grade before reading it. It is a book that kids under fifth grade would like, but the book might scare them a little and they also might not fully understand it. I would give this book four stars Busted (Left Behind: The Kids)
