Stolen: the prize-winning psychological thriller

Product Information

But I just wished Isla would have a specific age describing her ever since the start of this book, she thinks like an average normal teenager but attends art class and talks like a middle schooler. I think many young readers would be interested in the premise of this book but would put it down before reading the final page. But she cannot help it either and she starts caring for him, she tries to understand or help him, even if she knows he is doing the wrong thing. Ty was crazy, so many of us are and he had some weird ways, but those ways were just who he was, how he expressed himself. It's so mind-boggling because Ty isn't a bad person; he's nice to Gemma, he never harms her or takes advantage of her in any way, he clothes her and feeds her and shows her the beauty of the desert; but he's wrong in his own right, too.

No matter what Ty does for her , she only thinks of ways to escape but she always ends up hurting herself. I haven't read a book like this where the author uses symbolism with another type of character to show the main character. She's supportive when her family needs her, she's encouraging to her sick father, and she's the anchor that ensures Harry keeps hold of the cheeky sparkle in his eyes. My opinion is in a minority however, so maybe you should pick up the book and judge it for yourself.Ty wants her to realize the importance and beauty of nature which was the main reason he built this house in the middle of the desert.

Their little traditions, shared love of birds and general connection make Isla one seriously lucky girl. You told me once of the plants that lie dormant through the drought, that wait, half-dead, deep in the earth. In fact this is a difficult book to rant,I like the opening of the story, and Gemma, the kidnapped victim's struggle to grip onto her sanity and how she made her final decision. Printz Award * “An emotionally raw thriller…a haunting account of captivity and the power of relationships. What was an intimate (albeit toxic) place for Kate and Ty is being destroyed by the modern world slowly seeping in, taking over that wild land that both Ty and Kate have formed a strong relationship with.This wild and desolate landscape becomes almost a character in the book, so vividly is it described.

I felt uncomfortable, not knowing where the plot was leading, not knowing what I wanted to happen, but I feel better now that it's over. Cause really, how many child abductors are 20-something sexy Australian men with supermodel looks and a hot bod, who only want to be loved? Though most of this is a result of brilliant writing, a lot it also comes from the talented narrator of the audio book. She just doesn't know where she is and she doesn't know what happened but she wakes up in the middle of nowhere. The story is told by Gemma, a sixteen-year-old girl who is kidnapped from a Bangkok airport and brought to the Australian outback.Writing from Gemma’s (now Kate) perspective in Stolen , Christopher deftly evokes her emotional landscape – how she slowly comes round to liking Ty, who is nonviolent and gentle, despite his crime. I think it's normal for anyone to start to form a connection to the person you're in such close proximity with for such a long time and who essentially treats you with kindness and respect most of the time too. Christopher Chace Crawford was born in Lubbock, Texas, the son of Dana (Plott), a teacher, and Chris Wayne Crawford, a dermatologist. Under the hot glare of the Australian sun, cut off from the world outside, can the force of his love make Gemma love him back? I rebought Stolen, finished it the same day it came in the mail, looked for more writing by our beloved Lucy, and SAW THIS?
