This book so very interesting and riveting and I don’t quite
know what to think now that I am finished. I couldn’t put it down, but couldn’t
tell you exactly why. I ended up pulling
for both at the end. It is about a girl
who is kidnapped and held captive in a remote area of Australia. It is told from her point of view as a letter
to her captor. It is a Iowa High School
award book this year and I really liked it.
From Amazon: "A stunning debut novel with an intriguing literary hook: written in part
as a letter from a victim to her abductor. Sensitive, sharp,
captivating! Gemma, 16, is on layover at Bangkok Airport, en
route with her parents to a vacation in Vietnam. She steps away for just
a second, to get a cup of coffee. Ty--rugged, tan, too old, oddly
familiar--pays for Gemma's drink. And drugs it. They talk. Their hands
touch. And before Gemma knows what's happening, Ty takes her. Steals her
away. The unknowing object of a long obsession, Gemma has been
kidnapped by her stalker and brought to the desolate Australian Outback.
STOLEN is her gripping story of survival, of how she has to come to
terms with her living nightmare--or die trying to fight it."
