Stolen Children by Peg Kehret
14-year-old Amy is babysitting for a rich family when she and 3-year-old Kendra are kidnapped. Amy uses her cleverness to try and save the day. Will the ransom be paid, will they escape, and will they ever get home?
I think this book is great because it kept me on my toes. Even the title was catchy. But the most entertaining was when the kids got kidnapped. With how serious Smokey was and how scared the kids were. It just made me keep reading. Another great part was when they stayed in the cabin! It was exciting to read what clues Army gave and what she was going to do next! Its amazing what she dose and how she dose it. If you ever read this, book you will know what I’m talking about.
This book is all about a girl who’s babysitting a little girl named Kendra when they get kidnapped by two guys who bring them to a log cabin in the woods.The kidnappers leave a note at the house where Amy was babysitting Kendra, that said’If you call the police we will hurt the children’ .They find out their regular nanny is the kidnappers girlfriend.I recommend this book because it is jam packed with interesting events.
I thought Amy was very smart since she figured out a way to get home. She was also very responsible for taking care of Kendra.
