Stolen by Lucy Christopher
A stunning debut novel with an intriguing literary hook: written in part as a letter from a victim to her abductor. Sensitive, sharp, captivating!Gemma, 16, is on layover at Bangkok Airport, en route with her parents to a vacation in Vietnam. She steps away for just a second, to get a cup of coffee. Ty--rugged, tan, too old, oddly familiar--pays for Gemma's drink. And drugs it. They talk. Their hands touch. And before Gemma knows what's happening, Ty takes her. Steals her away. The unknowing object of a long obsession, Gemma has been kidnapped by her stalker and brought to the desolate Australian Outback. STOLEN is her gripping story of survival, of how she has to come to terms with her living nightmare--or die trying to fight it.
The ALA recognized Lucy Christopher's novel Stolen a Printz Honor Book, and it won the Branford Boase Award in England and the Golden Inky Award in Australia for best debut. She's also the author of Flyaway, a young adult novel. Lucy is a resident of Monmouth, Wales.
