After 6 years of trying, I've found that Christopher Pike just can't captivate or even hold for a minute any of my kids, so I have to move on to more modern books, I suppose. It's just so hard to get into cheap thrillers anymore, but this one worked for me.
This is the first Korman I've read, and now I think I'll try some of his other books that creep out of every crevice in my classroom. I keep getting these titles as bonus-point picks from Scholastic, and their enticing covers just don't entice my population of 7th & 8th graders, but I've also found that my kids don't ever seem to get into books that I haven't raved about first.
I read it in about 2 hours (I'm a slow reader, and it was adequately suspenseful. Now, I have to see if it works with the kids.

You can read this series after the preceding series or on its own. It's rather interesting, but the kids are a bit too precocious for my taste. ( )

The book kidnapped was a amazing book . I liked the part when adian went looking for meg . when adian came incontacet with the kidnappers Igot scared . I liked the part where the kidnapper was flying airplans and was being nice to meg. But I did not like the part when they aer mean to meg. ( )
