Girl Stolen A Novel April Henry Books

This is a very good crimes fiction, action novel. There is little, if any, foul language. I cannot recall any. As a parent I would have no problem having a high school age child read this fine novel. I also enjoyed it myself.

I had only come upon April Henry as an author having seen she co authored novels with Lis Wiehl. I was curious who April Henry is and what the nature of this collaboration is about. I have now read one novel by April Henry and one by Lis Wiehl and April Henry. I liked both but prefer this novel to "Face Of Betrayal". I intend to keep reading both authors with the intention of trying to differentiate the two.

This novel is above average. There is a crime with a unique turn. The victim has to become very resourceful in an attempt to help the times, this book proved a true "page turner" for me. I was actually surprised how much I like it simply because I had never heard of April Henry.

I purchased an audiobook and read the book on Kindle simultaneously listening. The narrator is Kate Rudd. I also felt she was really quite good and her performance added to the reading experience. In summary, I liked this book very much and intend to read another April Henry novel in the near future.

In the event that a reader enjoys this particular work, one might consider "All The Light We Cannot See" by Anthony Doerr. Thank You...

Girl Stolen A Novel April Henry Books Reviews

I read this book back in 7th grade and it became my favorite book. I bought it, read it again and finished it in a week. It is such a white knuckle ride of a book and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves suspense. After finishing it the second time, I returned back here to and immediately purchased the sequel (which just came out earlier this year). I cannot wait to read it! 5/5 stars!!!
The story starts right in the midst of Cheyenne being stolen while she lies under a blanket in the backseat. I often read advice about starting a story in the middle of the action. While that may grab my attention, it won’t hold for long if I don’t care about the characters. There needs to be a build up or a strong display of emotion.

Even though April began Cheyenne’s story when her car was jacked, she let readers get adjusted to the situation and acquainted to the sixteen-year-old by putting her in a vulnerable state (from the pneumonia). It took a moment for the sick teen to grasp what was happening. All the while, the dramatic irony and inductive reasoning gripped me. Knowing her abduction wasn't intentional adds an extra layer of conflict.

I appreciate the way April unfolds the story. Also, I can tell she did extensive and hands-on research concerning blindness and kidnappings. In fact, April was inspired by a real kidnapping that’d happened in the same way as Cheyenne’s, except the girl — who is blind — was forced out the car about three blocks away from the abduction site.

"Girl, Stolen" is a short read with significant strengths and weaknesses. The tension and nervousness mounted as I got closer and closer to the end. A great thing, but I still wanted more intensity and depth of content. Don't get me wrong. I love how April took a realistic approach, but I wanted the story to burst at the seams with grit and wreak havoc on my mind and Cheyenne’s. Nevertheless, this book packs a punch worth experiencing. I give it a solid B+.

Did not like this book. Too many unbelievable elements and a bit boring. I couldn’t believe that a few ladies in my book club fell for this unbelievable story of a blind sick girl with pneumonia could survive being kidnapped!
GIRL, STOLEN was an incredibly fast read. I wasn't able to stop turning the pages, I simply had to know what happened in the next chapter. For such a simple premise, Henry sure knows how to pack a punch. I also loved all the research she put into making Cheyenne a believable blind character.

If you're looking for a fast-paced thriller, especially one with great disability rep, this is the book for you!
This is a book I came across because I was looking for a suspensful book for a teen read summer program in a high school. It's an excellent story and a fast read. Many of our teachers picked a book for the students to choose from. This was easily the most popular book from all of the many choices the students were given. It is about a blind girl who was in the back of her family's car when it was hijacked by a young man who did not realize she was in the car. It turned out that she was a 'valuable commodity' because her father ended up being the owner of Nike. So the story was about her kidnapping and escape from the clutches of some very greedy people. It's appropriate for young adults and well worth the read.
