Stolen - Lucy Christopher

An acclaimed Printz Honor Book and ALA Best Fiction for Young Adults selection.

While on a layover at Bangkok Airport, 16-year-old Gemma, the unknowing object of a long obsession, is kidnapped by Ty and stolen away to the Australian Outback.

Now in paperback, the acclaimed Printz Honor Book: Sensitive, sharp, captivating A girl: Gemma, 16, at the airport, on her way to a family vacation.

A guy: Ty, rugged, tan, too old, oddly familiar, eyes blue as ice.

She steps away.

For just a second.

He pays for her drink.

And drugs it.

They talk.

Their hands touch.

And before Gemma knows what's happening, Ty takes her.

Steals her away.

To sand and heat.

To emptiness and isolation.

To nowhere.

And expects her to love him.

Written as a letter from a victim to her captor, STOLEN is Gemma's desperate story of survival; of how she has to come to terms with her living nightmare--or die trying to fight it.
