Cheyenne, a blind sixteen year-old, is kidnapped and held for ransom;
she must outwit her captors to get out alive.
Sixteen year-old Cheyenne Wilder is sleeping in the back of a car while
her mom fills her prescription at the pharmacy. Before Cheyenne realizes
what's happening, their car is being stolen--with her inside! Griffin
hadn't meant to kidnap Cheyenne, all he needed to do was steal a car for
the others.
But once Griffin's dad finds out that Cheyenne's father is the president
of a powerful corporation, everything changes--now there's a reason to
keep her. What Griffin doesn't know is that Cheyenne is not only sick
with pneumonia, she is blind. How will Cheyenne survive this nightmare,
and if she does, at what price?
Prepare yourself for a fast-paced and hard-edged thriller full of
nail-biting suspense.

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."
--Publishers Weekly
"Readers will be hard-pressed to put this one down before its
heart-pounding conclusion." --School Library Journal
"Spine-tingling...Reminiscent of Gail Giles' thrillers and
tension-filled to the last sentence, Girl, Stolen will resonate with
readers long after the cover is closed. With a thoughtful and
eye-opening look at disabilities, it highlights Cheyenne and Griffin's
resourcefulness and resiliency as they save themselves--and possibly
each other." --BookPage
"Thoroughly exciting." --Booklist
"Grabs your attention with the first page you read. . . . Each page
holds new questions that are answered in the most unexpected ways."
