It was supposed to be a routine trip to the pharmacy. Cheyenne’s stepmom had agreed to leave the keys in the car while she retrieved Cheyenne’s antibiotics for her worsening respiratory infection. In the matter of minutes, everything changed.
Though Cheyenne was blind, she knew immediately something was wrong – the slam of the car door, the smell of cigarettes, the man’s voice, cursing, as he started the car…
Griffin didn’t realize that he was also stealing her – a 16-year-old girl lying sick on the backseat. Griffin just knew he had to bring home something that would make a profit or his dad Roy would make sure he’d pay…
Cheyenne gave the best fight she had. She attacked Griffin as he was driving, tried to make him stop the car and let her go….Griffin had a gun, though, and Cheyenne was too weak to keep fighting
When Griffin returns home, Roy is furious at his stupid mistake. Once he sees Cheyenne’s prominent father on television pleading for his daughter’s safe return, though, Roy decides to let Cheyenne live a little longer in order to demand a ransom from her family in exchange for her supposed safe return.
Griffin doesn’t care about the money, he finds himself caring about Cheyenne – her beauty, her honesty, her strength and kindness. Cheyenne finds herself trusting Griffin – her kidnapper turned protector who makes sure she is taken care of and not left alone with Roy and his friends. As time passes though, Cheyenne realizes her chances of being released alive are slim. Despite her blindness and unfamiliarity with the area, she knew she had to escape in order to live. Cheyenne had to take out anyone in her way – including Griffin.
*Recommended as a read aloud
this book was amazing and full of suspense espescially when she tries to escape i loved it and would recommend it to anyone even if their not good at reading because its not full of a million gigantic words that nobody can figure out i would give it a five star rating!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletei forgot one thing the girls name is cheyenne
ReplyDeletethe book was amazing! I really did not expect the ending. there was just so much suspicion in the book. i could hardly put it down. this book is a great novek and anyone who loves guns, dogs, broken ankles, or suspence will love it!
ReplyDeleteI would have to say that Girl, Stolen is my favorite book. Cheyanne is really brave and does alot of things i never would imagine i could do if i was blind. The ending was a total shocker. If i was blind i never would have thought of escapeing and most of all getting in a car and trying to drive away. This book was good because it had many twists. I would recomend this book to anyone that is looking for a great read thats full of suspense. Im going to the library tomorrow to get another top tiger book! :)
ReplyDeleteThis book is so great!!!!! Cheyenne is so brave. The way she thought of all these escape plans is so amazing. Like when she broke the cup to use a piece of glass to cut the ropes is awesome. Or when she opened the window in the bathroom to make it look like she escaped, but she was actually hiding behind the bathtub curtain!!!! I would give this book 5 stars and would recommend it to anyone!!!
ReplyDeleteThis book was so great!Iti was one of the best books i read so far.If you don't to read this book you should cause good.She goes thur a rollercoaster ride for a long,long time(:
ReplyDeleteI loved this book. It is very similar to "Soul Surfer" but has its own story line. I read it in an hour and a half one night after school and now I am doing a book report on it. I would recommend this book to anyone! :)
ReplyDeleteGirl, Stolen is now one of my favorite books. the part that was really good was when she was trying to run away and a police came to her telling her to come with him. She thought it was really a police but it was Griffens dad. I also like it when Cheyenne still didnt tell Griffen that she was blind. He was kind of happy that she was but he still knew he would be in trouble. The last part I liked was when Griffen started liking Cheyenne in a way and always protected her.. I would give this book the most stars.
ReplyDeleteThis was such an amazing book. At the end of every chapter it just made me want to keep reading on. It just made keep wondering if Cheyenne was going to be let go alive or if Roy was going to take the money and then just kill Cheyenne. I thought Cheyenne was so brave.This was a really great book.
ReplyDeletethis was a really good book beacuse Cheyenne was a really brave girl and she was blind. This book was good beacuse it had many twist in the novel it had and when she had tryed to ecape was the best part in the novel i love it and everyone should so total read this awamzing book about this girl
ReplyDeleteThis was a really good book. It was about a girl (Cheyanne) who was kidnapped by a guy (Griffen) who only meant to steal the car. I kept wondering how she was going to escape. Finally when she did a policeman showed up (or atleast what she thought was a policeman).However it was Roy, Griffen's dad
ReplyDeleteHe started to take her back but the (real) police showed up and rescued her and arrested Roy. They got her back safely. Later on Griffen comes back to Cheyanne and apologyzes for everything.
And also she was blind.
ReplyDeleteThis book was wierd. It is too ironic that the car the guy stole is the car a 16 yr. old girl is in. It is also ironic the girl was blind. This book was ironic.
ReplyDeleteGirl Stolen was a very odd but fun book to read. This book lets you know how people with disabilitys feel and how diffrent we all are from others. It is a very touching book that is why I read this book.
ReplyDeletethis book was great!!! it was about a girl named cheyanne who had think of all these different escape plans! this book gets 4 stars.
ReplyDeleteI loved this book alot. This book made me realize how anyone can do anything, and you cant always trust strangers. Cheyanne is very smart about what all i know about her. SHe came up with all of these very smart ways to get out. The ending is my favorite part, it didnt turn out what i hopped it would but it turned out better than i though it would.
ReplyDeleteI really liked this book! It deserves 5 star rating. I love how this is just like soul surfer! I saw the movie but i didnt read the book. In this book and soul surfer it shows how anyone can do anything you just have to try! Cheyanna is a very talented and smart girl to think of all these ways to get away. The best part is the climax! I reccomend this book to anyone who enjoys reading(:
ReplyDeleteI loved this book!!! The irony and sadness was really touching! Who would expect a rober to get in the car when your parent is not in the car!!!! The end is very touching to me!!!! I liked how the rober starts protecting her against some people that want To hurt her.!!! I Really liked this Book!!! :)
