[.ca] Ransom (ISBN 0440972922)

Tight, Suspenseful Thriller:
Another tight, suspenseful thriller from Lois Duncan! Five students living in a rich area of town are kidnapped and held for ransom. The perspective switches occasionally from the teens to the parents and we find that each family has problems and secrets. The characters, as well as their background, are incredibly well-developed, especially for a book that comes in at under 200 pages. The plot was very suspenseful and just when you thought you knew how it would end you were thrown for a twist. The back of my book states that Lois Duncan has written 45 books, so I can see I've got a lot more reading ahead of me. Highly recommended!

Overall Good Book, Recommended to Get from Library:
"Ransom" was my first book by Lois Duncan, and I was impressed, but not totally thrilled with the book. Five teenagers (a cheerleader, an army brat, two brothers, and a physically different boy) are all kidnapped one day on their way home from school. Yes that's right, five high school students are kidnapped. How? Two men take over the bus and drive the five kids to a secluded mountain cabin. The kidnappers are asking for $15,000.00 in ransom money, and some of the kids don't think that their parents can pay it. What will happen to the five teenagers and their families?

OH MY GOD!!!!:):
