Stolen Children by Peg Kehret
This book is thrilling and suspenseful. It is intriguing to both kids and adults. Peg Kehret does a great job of captivating the audience and making you feel all of the emotions that Amy goes through while trying to protect herself and Kendra from their kidnappers. Great story and a wonderfully talented author.
Emotional, sad, sweet, hopeful book.
I'm an emotional personal, so unsurprisingly this made me tear up several times. It is so terrible but interesting to read about what she went through.

Josh is to spend his summer with his eccentric Aunt Ethel and he isn’t pleased. Carbon City, Washington isn’t anywhere like Minneapolis, Minnesota, where Josh is from.
Aunt Ethel lives out by an old cemetery in an old two-story wooden house. No computer, no TV, 18 miles to the nearest movie house and there isn’t any nearby stores. Out in the middle of nowhere.
The real bitter pill for Josh is no baseball. He was scheduled to plat on a summer league, but things changed.
When Josh found a tree house out on the property, things didn’t seem quite as bad. A little sweeping and dusting and it was a nice place to be.
Then came the cat! She showed up scrawny and scruffy, looking for food. And then came the kittens.
And then came Willie, who had been waiting for years for someone to help him finally be at peace. Willie is a ghost.
Josh finds he learns a lot of Carbon City’s history and a lot about himself. He also stumbles on some buried money and solves that mystery. Summer at Aunt Ethel’s is definitely nothing like summer in Minneapolis!
