Girl Stolen

Girl Stolen by April Henry
Imagine going to the store with your mom, you're sick, you just feel awful and you fall asleep in the back seat, only to be abruptly awakened by a would-be carjacker. Well that's what happens to 16 yer old Cheyenne. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, she's blind! Griffin is the want-to-be carjacker, who only does it to make his loser dad and friends accept him. When he arrives home his dad is not exactly thrilled, that is, until he realizes the Cheyenne is worth a whole lot of money. Her dad is the CEO of Nike and would be willing to pay a lot of money to get her back. This is where the story takes a turn. You start to feel sorry for Griffin and realize he is a victim of his surroundings.

Cheyenne is a strong and believable character. This is an easy and quick read but don't let this fool you, you will be hooked from the moment you start reading.

Blood Red Road - Book One - Dustlands Trilogy

Blood Red Road by Miora Young

I loved this book! It is a cross between The Hunger Games and Mad Max. Saba is an 18 year old girl living in the post-apocalyptic world of Silverlake, she is isolated and uneducated. The story is told in her voice the spelling and grammar mistakes were hard to get past but once I did I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Saba's twin brother Lugh is kidnapped and she must go out into a ruthless and lawless world to find him. Her less than cooperative little sister Emmi and a crow named Nero are her constant companions. She is eventually captured and taken to Hopetown, a brutal and unforgiving place, where she is forced to cage fight for the entertainment of the crowd. Saba must kill or be killed.

A Stolen Life

A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard.
This is an incredible book. It chronicles Jaycee's life from the moment she was kidnapped at age 11 until she is reunited with her family 18 years later. Jaycee tells her story in her own words and at times they are hard to read.
 Be prepared she is very candid and you will wonder how so many people could have been so blind.
