I originally purchased this book for my daughter as she really wanted to read it. But when I opened the package, I got curious and started reading it. I spent the next three nights reading it! The story is engrossing. The detail to which the author affixes to the character and plot development is engrossing. I later learned that this book was the author’s first novella which makes it that much more impressive. I highly recommend this book to all!

4.0 out of 5 stars Such a fun read!!

First off, the author is 13 and published this book at the age of 12. I am stunned by her skill and imagination, not just because of her age, but because it is also her first book.
Her voice comes through loud and clear, which many writers struggle with. She works in inspirational quotes that are relevant to the moment and do not feel forced or out of place. The kidnapping happens suddenly, which gives the reader a feel of exactly how quickly it can happen in real life.
The cover is simple and the book could use editing, but her use of language and grammar is commendable. The scenes can shift quickly with little transition, but again, a very common problem with first-time authors. There were a few places that could have been expanded upon to give more meat to the story and at one point a very interesting concept was introduced, but never mentioned again. (I do not want to mention it here so I do not spoil anything)
The author has a knack for description. While easy to overuse, she adds in tiny details that a lot of writers often miss. I was able to picture some things quite clearly. Overall, I’m impressed by the author’s first attempt at a book – most writers never manage to write one, regardless of intent. She seems to have a natural ability that can become polished with time and practice. Definitely keep an eye on her!

This was a great story with a well developed storyline. It is a very impressive accomplishment, especially considering it is the first book for this author… Not to mention the age of the author. I am looking forward to reading her future books!
