High school
What if you were
targeted to be kidnapped but the kidnapper got the wrong girl?
Gabie drives a Mini
Cooper. She also works part time as a delivery girl at Pete’s Pizza. One night,
Kayla – another delivery girl – goes missing. To her horror, Gabie learns that
the supposed kidnapper had asked if the girl in the Mini Cooper was working
that night. Gabie can’t move beyond the fact that Kayla’s fate was really meant
for her and becomes obsessed with finding Kayla. Teaming up with her co-worker
Drew, they set out to prove that Kayla isn’t dead and to find her before she
is.
“The
Night I Disappeared” was the first April Henry book I read and she had me
hooked on the first chapter. Imagine the fear you would have being kidnapped
and imagine the guilt you would have if the person kidnapped was suppose to be
you. April Henry brings that fear to life.
The
narration switches between Kayla, the girl who was kidnapped and Gabie, the
girl who was supposed to be kidnapped, and the kidnapper himself. I like Kayla’s
parts the best, how she was terrified to begin with (and who wouldn’t be) to
trying to figure out how to escape. This book doesn’t have just one strong
female character, it has two.
