Sixteen year-old Cheyenne Wilder is sleeping in the back of a car while her mom fills her prescription at the pharmacy. Before Cheyenne realizes what's happening, their car is being stolen--with her inside! Griffin hadn’t meant to kidnap Cheyenne, all he needed to do was steal a car for the others. But once Griffin's dad finds out that Cheyenne’s father is the president of a powerful corporation, everything changes—now there’s a reason to keep her. What Griffin doesn’t know is that Cheyenne is not only sick with pneumonia, she is blind. How will Cheyenne survive this nightmare, and if she does, at what price? [summary from Goodreads]
I've heard fantastic things about this book, and it sounds like it could have similar vibes and themes to Stolen by Lucy Christopher: the kidnapping scenario, the power dynamics between the two, the main character's struggle to maintain her identity. Oh, and it's with a blind girl. I'm fascinated to see how descriptions will be done. Very excited about this one!
Girl, Stolen will be released in hardcover by Henry Holt & Co. on September 28, 2010.
