This gripping, chillingly realistic novel from New York Times bestselling author Sharon Draper, “by turns pulse-pounding and inspiring” (Kirkus Reviews), shows that all it takes is one bad decision for a dream to become a nightmare.
Diamond knows not to get into a car with a stranger.
But what if the stranger is well-dressed and handsome? On his way to meet his wife and daughter? And casting a movie that very night—a movie in need of a star dancer? What then?
Then Diamond might make the wrong decision.
It’s a nightmare come true: Diamond Landers has been kidnapped. She was at the mall with a friend, alone for only a few brief minutes—and now she’s being held captive, forced to endure horrors beyond what she ever could have dreamed, while her family and friends experience their own torments and wait desperately for any bit of news.
From New York Times bestselling author Sharon Draper, this is a riveting exploration of power: how quickly we can lose it—and how we can take it back.My Opinion:
This is a powerful book. You cannot just not feel moved with the message behind the book. Sharon Draper is a fabulous author who always hits on real-life issues. I've waited to read Panci for a long time now, but when I did I almost cried. She wrote about this in such a beautiful way that I was overwhelmned with emotions. Please read and maybe even pass it along. Because you never know what people are going through until you expirence it yourself or maybe even read a book about it steping into that person's shoes.
P.s. On a happier note, my school's reading bowl gined 2nd place and are goung on to regionals. Best thing ever!!! I've never made it that far before. ;)
