— Paige, 2/4/2014 -
" This book was billed as a thriller, but frankly wasn't suspensful until the very end when it came to resolution quite quickly. The high school students seemed to enjoy it though. "
— Stacy, 1/21/2014 -

" was one of the best book ive ever read in school. "
— Morgan, 12/4/2013 -
" This was about a 16 year old blind girl who gets accidentally kidnapped when someone steals her mom's car. It was okay for me but despite the clever premise, it was fairly predictable. "
— Kacey, 10/29/2013 -
" What a great read. The main character discovers strength through a trial. She is blind and is kidnapped when her step-mother's vehicle is stolen. She wants to escape because she doesn't believe they will let her go after a ransom payment is made. Would be a great addition to the next Rosie List. "
— Mrs., 10/29/2013 -
" Unique main character + interesting premise = thrilling read. "
— Yvonne, 9/20/2013 -
" It kept me guessing and hoping the whole time. The book started out getting right to the action, and I like that. I would totally recommend this to anyone who likes to be on the edge of their seats. :) April Henry did a WONDERFUL job with this book. "
— Melissa, 8/14/2013 -
" This book seems to be fairly realistic without being graphically detailed. I liked the main character, Cheyenne, and her strategy of making sure her kidnapper saw her as a person. Scholastic says it has some mature content, but I feel it is appropriate for a junior high library. Quick read. "
— Wanda, 5/20/2013 -

— Angela, 5/20/2013 -
" i loved it. very detailed and wonderful. "
— Samantha, 5/1/2013 -
" I'm an April Henry fan. She does a great job with both the character of Cheyenne and Griffin, making Griffin in particular very human. If you want to know how to start a story in media res, study this opening. "
— Michael, 4/12/2013 -
" i had a really hard time getting through this book. it was slow and too child like for my tastes. too simple. "
