Lucy Christopher. I loved her book Stolen!

Such a great series!! Good choice!

Hi! I'm late to the game, but I'm Jenny. I'm a senior librarian with Tampa Hillsborough County Public Libraries. I'm mom to 3 young kids (ages 8, 9, and 10) so I love being able to read something other than YA and Diary of a Wimpy Kid!

I'm glad to see someone else reading it, Kathy! It's really got me thinking and I can't wait to pick it back up again this evening!

Okay, technically 496 pages, but I'm totally counting it ;) Excellent book!! It could be classified in many different categories, but I'm using it here.
