Book Trailer: Girl Stolen by April Henry - TeacherTube
As a sick Cheyenne waits in the family SUV at a pharmacy for her step-mother to pick up some medicine, the Cadillac Escalade she is waiting in is car jacked. An unsuspecting Griffin is in for more than one surprise: He discovers that Cheyenne is in the car and that she is blind. This adds to the terror of her plight, both for her and the readers. She is in no shape to fight, blind and sick with pneumonia, but she is resourceful and determined to survive. The fact that she is the daughter of a Nike CEO adds to the intensity of the story, and the value of Cheyenne as a hostage.
The novel is suspenseful and gripping from start to finish. Told from two different perspectives, both Cheyenne's and Griffin's, the reader really gets to know both characters. Griffin is not like his father, who has dragged him into the mess they are in; Griffin wanted to let Cheyenne go in the dark, but as soon as his father realized through the media who she really was, he saw the girl as a way to a wealthy future.
