Stolen
by Lucy Christopher
Book Review by Katie Painter
Gemma, a British teenager, is kidnapped when on vacation with her parents. Her kidnapper, Ty, takes her to the outbacks of Australia. To Gemma, the land is harsh and there are no other signs of human life for hundreds of miles in every direction. There was no escaping. Gemma must learn to deal with her difficult situation, or die trying. Ty, the young man that took her, has other ideas for her. His childhood experience of living in the outback of Australia has forever changed the way he sees things. He has been living in Gemma’s city. Unlike Gemma he has had enough. In outback Australia he sees the opportunity for a new kind of life, a life more connected to the earth. He has been watching and learning about Gemma for many years. When he kidnaps her, his plan finally begins to fall into place. Ty is not a stereotypical kidnapper and over time, Gemma comes to see Ty in a new way, a way in which he seems more sensitive. The mysteries of Ty, and the mystery of her new life, start to take effect. She begins to feel something for her kidnapper when he wakes up screaming in the middle of the night. Over the time spent with her kidnapper, Gemma’s appreciation for him develops. Is this real love, or Stockholm Syndrome?
