Sixteen year-old Cheyenne Wilder is sleeping in the back of a car while her mom fills her prescription at the pharmacy. Before Cheyenne realizes what's happening, their car is being stolen--with her inside! Griffin hadn't meant to kidnap Cheyenne, all he needed to do was steal a car for the others. But once Griffin's dad finds out that Cheyenne's father is the president of a powerful corporation, everything changesnow there's a reason to keep her. What Griffin doesn't know is that Cheyenne is not only sick with pneumonia, she is blind. How will Cheyenne survive this nightmare, and if she does, at what price? Prepare yourself for a fast-paced and hard-edged thriller full of nail-biting suspense.

Cheyenne heard the car door open. She didn‘t move from where she lay curled on the backseat, her head resting on her bent arm. Despite the blanket that covered her, Cheyenne was shivering.

Pick for MS/YA reluctant readers. Over-the-top plot with blind rich girl inadvertently kidnapped by teen car thief. Sounds ridiculous, but cliffhangers are so much fun for some younger readers. Good examples of think alouds as MC tries to get away plus she slips in some good messages about reading. Kids who wonder about what it might be like to be blind might also like some of the conversations MC has with kidnapper. Ends with a cliffhanger too.

The quote is from April Henry‘s website home page which is FULL of photos of her visiting schools.

Love her style, not for me, but for middle grade & YA kids who have never liked a book. I handed her books out to so many reluctant readers who ate up her characters & crazy implausible plots.🤩

Daisey I feel much the same. Her style is not really for me, but they recommend well to my students. 4y
DogMomIrene @Daisey Yes! Have you seen some of her book trailers? I played the one for Girl, Stolen my last year in the MS library and I had a hold list like you wouldn‘t believe. Bought more copies of her books to hand out👏🏼 4y

As much as it saddens me, I'm gonna bail on this one. I REALLY wanted to enjoy it. The only thing that kept me reading til 2am was the solid character development and how fast-paced the story was. But Henry's child-like writing, plus the unrealistic dialogues and scenarios were just too much for me to handle right now. I do like how our protagonist is smart and strong despite her blindness and disability. Will finish before the year ends.
3/10

Griffin hadn't meant to kidnap Cheyenne and once he finds out that not only does she have pneumonia, but that she's blind, he doesn't know what to do. When his dad finds out her father is the president of a powerful corporation, everything changes.

This book was ok i usually don‘t read these types of books but I did because it was interesting I loved how the author made the characters and the story. I would recommend this to a teen for a great mystery book.

Just finished this. It was ok, pretty fast paced and interesting but not enough to make me want to buy my own copy. I like how Cheyenne is blind but not completely helpless

Oh My Lord. That Ending. I want more time to process it. Let's just say, April Henry is NOT afraid to torcher her characters. I just can't believe it. Not enough ups, my heart couldn't take the downs. I LOVED it.

Sometimes people did this, closed their eyes for a few seconds and imagined it gave them insights into what it was like to be her. Only, at the end, they could still open their eyes and see. #GirlStolen #AprilHenry #book #books #bookjunkie #bookjunkies #bookjunky #bookjacket #bookjackets #bookkeeper #bookkeepers #bookkeepinglife #bookloot #booklist #booklove #booklover #booklovers #bookloversunite #bookzesty #bookzilla #bookzine #bookzone 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Cheyenne gets kidnapped but she can‘t she‘s who her abductor is because she is blind. How will she escape? And if she does how does she know where to go?

I thought the fact that Cheyenne was blind amped up the whole scenario. You never really think about a victim being blind. It‘s a whole new set of obstacles someone needs to face besides being kidnapped.

An easy and fast read that has you turning the pages.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
