Synopsis

Winner of the Michael L. Printz Award
The captivating, disturbing, and heartbreakingly beautiful thriller from award-winning and critically acclaimed author Lucy Christopher.

A girl: Gemma, 16, at the airport, on her way to a family vacation.

A guy: Ty, rugged, tan, too old, oddly familiar, eyes blue as ice.

She steps away. For just a second. He pays for her drink. And drugs it. They talk.

Their hands touch. And before Gemma knows what's happening, Ty takes her.

Steals her away. To sand and heat. To emptiness and isolation. To nowhere. And expects her to love him.

Written as a letter from a victim to her captor, Stolen is Gemma's desperate story of survival; of how she has to come to terms with her living nightmare—or die trying to fight it.

“An emotionally raw thriller … a haunting account of captivity and the power of relationships.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

Stolen is such a singular reading experience that its difficult to decide how I feel about it. Gemma is a sixteen year old English girl kidnapped by Ty and taken into the Western Australian outback where she is held prisoner. I had to give this book five stars for several reasons. One of the reasons i......more

Goodreads review by Sophie on April 11, 2016

Five stars. I really don't know how to feel right now. I feel so sad, but that isn't the right word to explain how I feel about this book. It's so complicated. I hated some of the moments in this book- could not even begin to imagine myself feeling even the slightest bit of empathy for certain chara......more
