Synopsis
Kaci’s family has just moved into a new neighborhood when she comes home early from school one day to discover intruders in her home. The robbers kidnap her and her nosy, retired neighbor. With quick and clever thinking and faith in a higher power, the two of them cooperate to escape their captors.
This is an exciting story full of resourcefulness. I enjoyed how the author included faith in the story. Kaci believes that God will help her get out of this very scary situation, and He does. Younger or sensitive readers may be frightened because the situation could easily happen in real life. But for those readers who love a suspenseful, dangerous story, this is a good one.
