Spring 2005 Review

Christina is not your average high school girl. She attends an all-girl school and is very proper. Her class is attending a trip to France and she wants to attend. Her parents object and after asking every member of her family, is turned down each time. After going out with her friend Lorna, she is kidnapped and put in someone's basement. She is then arrested and charged with arranging her own kidnapping. She is horrified. Everyone believes she wanted the ransom money for her trip to France. Her Kidnappers arranged it so that no evidence supports Christina's story of the Kidnapping. Not even her own Mother believes her. There is one person who does however find an interesting aspect of Christina's story. Kelly, a journalist, believes that there is evidence to support Christina's story. Together, they investigate every detail until they solve the mystery. Christina's housekeeper's son was responsible for the kidnapping. Finally, Christina is relieved.

I thought that the book was very realistic and portrayed an accurate depiction of a kidnapping. Down to the last detail, this book was very mysterious. I would recommend this book to high school students, and due to it's content should be read by every last student. It will leave you on the edge of your seat, flipping through page after page. It's mysterious twists and turns make the book an extremely enjoyable read.
