After by Amy EfawDevon Davenport is a likable girl. Responsible, mature, straight-A student, star athlete. Granted, her mother is immature and not the best influence, but Devon is a good person in spite of this. She's the daughter every mother would want. She's the student every teacher wants in the classroom. So how does she end up throwing her new-born infant in the dumpster, and how did nobody know she was even pregnant? Who is Devon Davenport? An attempted murderer or a scared teen who was in denial during her pregnancy?
Devon is arrested and winds up in a juvenile center. If she is tried as an adult, she could face years in prison. Only her defense attorney and community members who testify on her behalf can save her. But will they want to after finding out what she has done?
Girl Stolen by April Henry
I finished this page-turner in two nights, because I wanted to know what happened to Cheyenne Wilder, a teenage girl who is kidnapped while sleeping in the back seat of her stepmom's car. I wanted to know what happened to Griffin, her kidnapper. Griffin just wanted to hijack the car after all. He didn't know there was someone in the back seat! I wanted to know what happened to Griffin's dad, the evil man behind the hijacking who decides Cheyenne might come in handy. I wanted to know what happened with Cheyenne's dad, the president of a powerful corporation. Would he give Griffin's dad the ransom money?
Cheyenne is 16 and sick with pneumonia. She is without medication (her step mom was getting that for her while the car was hijacked) and she has no way to contact anyone. She has to plot an escape, without knowing where she is, how far she is from home and without a cell phone.
And, she's blind.
