A burned out music manager goes to Afghanistan on the USO tour with his last remaining client. When he finds himself abandoned, penniless and without his passport, he discovers a young girl with an extraordinary voice, who stows away with him back to Kabul to compete on the popular television show, the "Afghan Star," Afghanistan's equivalent of "American Idol."

A primary protagonist(s) is often situated in a remote location or somehow isolated from typical societal conventions. These range from a comfortable suburban area to boarding schools, foreign villages, campsites, unfamiliar relatives' homes or even oversea areas. The books in the series usually feature semi-homogenous plot structures with normal kids being, frequently indirectly, involved in scary situations; chapters end in cliffhangers, and after the central conflict has either been or appears to have been resolved, there is often a twist ending.
