Girl, Stolen by April Henry- Girl, Stolen is a young adult novel about a girl named Cheyenne, who is accidentally kidnapped when her stepmother’s vehicle is stolen from a drugstore parking lot. Her captor, another teenager named Griffin, did not realize she had been laying down in the backseat when he lifted the car. To complicate matters further, Cheyenne is suffering from pneumonia (she was at the drugstore to pick up her antibiotic), and she is also blind. This book wasn’t on my must read list, but I was looking on my classroom bookshelf for something to read, and I remembered that several of my students had read this title and loved it. I can understand why they did. It’s an easy read with lots of suspense. Even though I could tell it was meant for teenagers, it was interesting reading a story from the point of view of a character who is blind. I would recommend this book for teens and also for adults who like a quick, entertaining read.
The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey- Even though I loved The 5th Wave, I was stalling on this book. I think I was starting to feel worn out with the dystopian genre, but I started reading and read 150 pages in the first day. I don’t want to talk too much about plot and spoil the first book in the series for those who still want to read it, but, much like Catching Fire, The Infinite Sea is an awesome sequel.
