Book Review: Taken by Edward Bloor

Thanks to Sophie for our first ever teen book review! Taken by Edward Bloor is set in 2035, when kidnapping has become a common crime. Charity Meyers, a thirteen-year-old girl in the Highlands, Florida, lives with her father and ex-stepmother. Being extremely wealthy, Charity must live in a highly defended home to protect her from kidnappers and their well known 24 hour ransom process. However, when defense fails Charity finds herself strapped to a stretcher in the back of an ambulance. She reminds herself to stay calm, but soon finds out that this kidnapping would not follow the normal pattern of business, and in fact, change her life forever.
