I just finished reading this book called Girl, Stolen by April Henry.
1) What happens in the book is there is this 16-year-old girl named Cheyenne Wilder who is in the back seat of her stepmother's car in a parking lot. She is waiting for her step mom to come back from the drug store with her prescription to heal her pneumonia. Cheyenne takes a nap while she waits. Then before she realizes what is happening, the car is being stolen with her in it. The thief didn't realize that there was someone in the car, otherwise he wouldn't have stole it. When Griffin notices that he isn't lonely in the car, he gets worried; he didn't mean to be a kidnapper. Cheyenne puts up a good fight, clawing at his face and screaming to let her go, but then Griffin learns that learns that she is blind, and the tables turn his way because he knows that she cannot recognize him. He decides to tie her up and keep driving. Griffin's intentions are to drop her off on the side of a road, far enough from where he lives but close enough to city without being seen. Roy isn't that nice, and has different ideas, especially when they learn that she is the daughter of the president of Nike. Griffin doesn't know what to do and who he can trust, Cheyenne feeling very much the same way. Griffin has been nice to her and her protector from the others, yet he is the one that kidnapped her. She decides that she must escape her self because she thinks they are going to kill her. But a blind girl who could easily die from the pneumonia she has, and is lost is not the best combination for someone who wants to escape from her captors.
2) The protagonist in this book would be Cheyenne Wilder. She is a sixteen-year-old girl, who is blind. Her and her mom and their dog were walking one day on the side of a road and a car hit them. Her mom and the dog died, Cheyenne lost her vision. This happened when she was thirteen. Her dad is the president of Nike, and he seems very nice and caring. At the hospital where Cheyenne was staying during her treatment there was a nurse there named Danielle. Cheyenne's father ended up marring her some whiles after the accident. Cheyenne is pretty with black curly hair, like her mothers, and very dark eyes. She can see a sliver out of her left eye, but it is not much, so she is still legally blind. She hates being blind because it is confusing and embarrassing at times. She loves her guide dog because he connects her more with the world. People approach her and ask to pet him, and he even saved her life once. People don't have to ask her if she's blind because they notice her guide dog and they know. She loves her dog and her family. Cheyenne is smart and brave. If she were played by a famous actor in a movie, it would be Laura Marano. I chose her because he has dark hair and dark eyes and I think that with the right touch ups with her hair to make it all curls, she would be great!

3) The main setting in this book is somewhere in the outskirts of a bigger town or city. The house where Griffin lives is somewhere that is approximately a hour drive from the city or town. It is in a very isolated place, with no neighbors, and the small roads that lead you to there are deserted. I think that it took place in the USA somewhere because Griffin was a high school dropout and there are some states still that the dropout age is 16. I think that this book was written from the past because now people would be smart enough to lock their doors when they leave their car running with their blind child inside. I think that the time frame was 2000 ish maybe. The setting reminds me of little places like Petersfield, Manitoba or some small area like it. It's is because it is small and is a 45 minute drive from the city, so it fits the time frame that Cheyenne had calculated in her head (1 hour). The setting of this book also reminds me of the time when my family and I went for a road trip to Saskatchewan and we were running low on gas and were lost. We turned onto this gravel road, and it was so abandoned. There was just empty farmland on either side. Just before we eventually got to the end of the long road, there was this old, boarded up and abandoned house. I think that if you but the two locations together you will end up with the location in the book.
