A teen girl sets out to save her former captor in this
much-anticipated sequel to the young adult thriller Girl, Stolen
Six months ago, Griffin Sawyer meant to steal a car, but he never meant
to steal the girl asleep in the backseat. Panicked, he took her home.
His father, Roy, decided to hold Cheyenne--who is blind--for ransom.
Griffin helped her escape, and now Roy is awaiting trial. As they
prepare to testify, Griffin and Cheyenne reconnect and make plans to
meet. But the plan goes wrong and Cheyenne gets captured by Roy's
henchmen--this time for the kill. Can Cheyenne free herself? And is
Griffin a pawn or a player in this deadly chase?
April Henry masterminds another edge-of-your-seat thriller in Count All
Her Bones.
A Christy Ottaviano Book
"Providing plenty of background for anyone who did not read the first
book, this novel offers action, with a disabled protagonist heading the
white cast of characters. Cheyenne's blindness makes her an
out-of-the-ordinary thriller star, particularly when emotions like
confusion and self-doubt are shown, helping readers get under her skin.
. . . Readers will be rooting for Cheyenne and Griffin from the edges
of their seats." --Kirkus Reviews

Praise for Girl, Stolen:
"Be ready to be startled and inspired as the story reaches its climax.
Readers will race to the end." --The Strand Magazine
"The pace is impeccable, becoming rapidly more frantic as Cheyenne
realizes her chances for success are dwindling. In addition, the premise
itself is powerfully realistic and compelling, with one small incident
(Griffin's jumping into a car that had the keys in the ignition)
snowballing into a nightmare series of events that will change
everyone." --BCCB
"Henry (Torched) spins a captivating tale that shifts between
Cheyenne's and Griffin's thoughts. Both are well-built, complex
characters, trapped in their own ways by life's circumstances,
which--paired with a relentlessly fast pace--ensures a tense read."

heart-pounding conclusion." --School Library Journal

tension-filled to the last sentence, Girl, Stolen will resonate with

eye-opening look at disabilities, it highlights Cheyenne and Griffin's
resourcefulness and resiliency as they save themselves--and possibly
each other." --BookPage
