Overview

Sixteen–year-old Cheyenne Wilder is sleeping in the back of a car while her mom fills her prescription for antibiotics. Before Cheyenne realizes what’s happening, their car is being stolen. Griffin hadn’t meant to kidnap Cheyenne, but once his dad finds out that Cheyenne’s father is the president of a powerful corporation, everything changes—now there’s a reason to keep her. How will Cheyenne survive this nightmare? Because she’s not only sick with pneumonia—she’s also blind.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
While waiting in the car for her stepmother, 16-year-old Cheyenne is accidentally kidnapped by Griffin, a hard-edged teenager who steals the family's Escalade. She is blind, and while this makes her less of a concern for Griffin, his father, and their crew of thugs (who steal cars, replace the VIN numbers, and resell them), an escape is all but impossible ("She no longer knew anything about the world. All she knew about was herself. Her world had shrunk to the edges of her skin"). Cheyenne's disability grants her unexpected strengths; she learns to use her blindness and a case of pneumonia to her advantage, manipulating Griffin into sympathizing with her. When the men discover that Cheyenne's father is the president of Nike, they begin negotiating a ransom, but the question remains: can she trust Griffin to let her go? Henry (Torched) spins a captivating tale that shifts between Cheyenne's and Griffin's thoughts. Both are well-built, complex characters, trapped in their own ways by life's circumstances, which--paired with a relentlessly fast pace--ensures a tense read. Ages 12–up. (Oct.)
VOYA

Upon learning of Cheyenne's blindness, readers will become engrossed by her challenging situation. As the pages of the book are eagerly turned, one discovers a series of twists and turns. Each page holds new questions that are answered in the most unexpected ways. This book is a well-crafted suspense story. Reviewer: Angelina Barnard, Teen Reviewer
Children's Literature
Cheyenne is napping in the back of her stepmom's SUV. She has been to the doctor and her mom has run in to get a prescription filled for her. When she hears the door open, she senses that something is not right. Cheyenne is sixteen and has been blind since the accident that took her mother's life. Behind the wheel of the vehicle is not her stepmom, it is a seventeen year old carjacker who has no idea that Cheyenne is in the back. Since his mother abandoned them, Griffin has been trying desperately to build a positive relationship with his father. Roy makes a living chopping stolen cars and selling car parts. His dad is a tough, tobacco chewing, beer drinking backwoodsman, and it hasn't been easy being his son. Now Griffin is stealing cars for his father, but he never intended to be a kidnapper. When the radio comes on, it is clear that Cheyenne's parents are looking for her and willing to do whatever it takes to get her back. Once Roy hears who her father is, he perks up and offers to return her for a significant ransom. During the time she is being held, Griffin and Cheyenne gradually learn more about each other and Griffin makes sure that the men who work for his father stay clear. But both Griffin and Cheyenne know Roy has no intention of letting Cheyenne return home alive. Cheyenne plots her escape but finds herself at the mercy of the elements. This is a great page turner for teens. Learning to deal with adversity is a theme that runs through the story and readers will be talking about the choices the characters make and the consequences involved. Reviewer: Janis Flint-Ferguson
VOYA
A simple trip to the pharmacy turns Cheyenne Wilder's life around. She is not feeling well and begs her stepmom to let her sleep in the back seat. It is warm and cozy, except for the fact the car is unlocked and the keys are in the ignition. Along comes Griffin, a small-time teen criminal. He steals the car, unaware that he has a passenger. Once Griffin discovers Cheyenne, he delivers her to the clutches of his greedy father and low-life associates. This crime thriller has several suspenseful twists. One is that Cheyenne is blind. How can she escape or identify her captors? She is being held in a remote wooded area and no longer has her cane or guide dog—she must utilize her sightless survivor skills. Another twist begins with Griffin's dad, Roy. At first Roy is upset the accidentally kidnapped girl was brought home. From this simple chop-shop crime story, the plot evolves into a kidnapping scheme. With a $5 million price tag on Cheyenne's head, the reader wonders if she will survive this harrowing ordeal. Who will come to her rescue? This novel is a worthy public and school library purchase featuring a brave visually-disabled female and a kindly, courteous male hero. It is not only a page-turning suspense, but this roller coaster read also reminds the teen reader that every action causes a reaction. Moreover, the author proves that brain power and kindness can triumph over brawn and brutality. Reviewer: Madelene Rathbun
School Library Journal
Gr 7–10—A trip to the pharmacy turns into a nightmare for Cheyenne Wilder, a blind teenager. Sick with pneumonia, she waits in the backseat of her stepmother's car when someone steals it, unintentionally kidnapping her. Things become even more complicated when the inadvertent kidnapper, Griffin, returns home to his hostile father and his criminal cronies, who have their own designs on Cheyenne upon learning that her father is the president of Nike. Still sick and held captive, Cheyenne must use her other senses and intellect to break free and find help before it's too late. The novel is a nail-biter with an unforgettable protagonist who smartly and bravely turns her weakness, and her captors' underestimation of her capabilities, into an advantage. Henry illuminates the teen's predicament using all of her intact senses, making every touch, sniff, and breath palpable. Cheyenne's growing sympathy for Griffin, who becomes her protector, adds layers of complexity to this thriller, especially when she faces leaving him injured in the woods or slowing her own escape by saving him. Readers will be hard-pressed to put this one down before its heart-pounding conclusion.—Jennifer Barnes, formerly at Homewood Library, IL
Kirkus Reviews

This can't-put-it-down crime thriller unfolds through the viewpoints of both victim and criminal. Sixteen-year-old Cheyenne, blinded in an accident that killed her mother three years earlier, has pneumonia. As she sleeps in the back of her stepmother's car, Griffin steals it, inadvertently kidnapping her. Once Griffin's car-thief father learns she's wealthy, he decides to demand ransom. When the hapless Griffin realizes his dad and cronies will kill the girl to protect their identities, he tries to protect her. Clearly, the author did extensive research on blindness and its challenges. Her realistic depiction of the coping strategies and the strengths developed by the blind greatly enhances the novel, lifting it above the level of a mere escapist thriller. Characterizations make an impact, with both Cheyenne and Griffin becoming quite appealing; much suspense revolves around Griffin's divided loyalties. The slightly ambiguous ending highlights Cheyenne's ambivalent feelings toward Griffin. Although Cheyenne's multiple problems might feel overdone in less skilled hands, Henry handles them deftly and makes her choices work. Constantly interesting and suspenseful. (Thriller. 12 & up)

Read an Excerpt

1

A Thousand Things Wrong Cheyenne heard the car door open. She didn’t move from where she lay curled on the backseat, her head resting on her bent arm. Despite the blanket that covered her, Cheyenne was shivering.

She had begged her stepmom to leave the keys in the car so she could turn on the heat if she got cold. After some back-and-forthing, Danielle had agreed. That had only been five minutes ago, and here she was, already back. Maybe the doctor had phoned in the prescription and Danielle hadn’t had to wait for it to be filled.

Now the door slammed closed, the SUV rocking a little as weight settled into the driver’s seat. The engine started. The emergency brake clunked as it was released. The car jerked into reverse.

It was a thousand little things that told Cheyenne something was wrong. Even the way the door closed hadn’t sounded right. Too fast and too hard for Danielle. The breathing was all wrong too, speeded up and harsh. Cheyenne sniffed. The smell of cigarettes. But Danielle didn’t smoke and, as a nurse, couldn’t stand anyone who did.

There was no way the person driving the car was her stepmom.

But why would someone else have gotten in the car? It was a Cadillac Escalade, so it wasn’t likely someone had just gotten confused and thought it was their car.

Then she remembered the keys. Somebody was stealing the car!

And Cheyenne was pretty sure they didn’t know she was in it.

She froze, wondering how much the blanket covered her. She couldn’t feel it on the top of her head.

Cheyenne felt like a mouse she had seen in the kitchen one time when she turned on the light before school. Caught in the middle of the floor, it had stood stock-still. Like maybe she wouldn’t notice it if it didn’t move.

But it hadn’t worked for the mouse, and now it didn’t work for Cheyenne. She must have made some small sound. Or maybe the thief had looked back to see if someone was following and then realized what the shape was underneath the blanket.

A swear word. A guy’s voice. She had already halfway known that it was a guy, the way she sometimes just knew things now.

“Who the hell are you?” His voice broke in surprise.

“What are you doing in Danielle’s car?”

Their words collided and tangled. Both of them speaking too fast, almost yelling.

Sitting up, she scrambled back against the door, the one farthest from him. “Stop our car and get out!”

“No!” he shouted back. The engine surged as he drove faster.

Cheyenne realized she was being kidnapped.

But she couldn’t see the guy who was kidnapping her or where they were going.

Because for the last three years, Cheyenne had been blind.

    Wonderful, Inspiring Read!

    I really adored Girl, Stolen. This is the first book that I've read from April Henry and I had been looking forward to reading it for a while and it did not disappoint. The story is well thought out, smart, fast-paced, with suspense and action, and a twist towards the end. And with the added strain of a teenage girl's blindness and pneumonia, this accidental kidnapping is unlike any other I've read, so it definitely peaked my interest. It is fresh and original. The characters are believable, with Cheyenne being my favorite. I liked how despite her handicap of being blind and sick, she is not portrayed as weak and helpless. The author focuses more on Cheyenne's strengths than her weaknesses and utilizes them to the fullest extent. Don't underestimate her. In fact, she is quite an extraordinary, remarkable, and brave young girl. The amount of strength and fight in her to try to survive this ordeal is just incredible and inspiring. Even though this is just a work of fiction, it still gives you a testament of what a blind person is capable of overcoming when faced with obstacles. Cheyenne never gives up hope. Her intelligence as well as her methodical planning and strategic ingenuity make up for her blindness. Cheyenne finds the strongest weapon in the most unlikely place - through communication - which I thought was interesting. But she also uses her handicap to her advantage, trying to evoke sympathy, in hopes of gaining some leverage in her situation. So she really leaves no stone unturned. Griffin, the teenage boy who accidentally kidnaps Cheyenne when he steals her stepmom's car, is another character who, while I shouldn't like him because he is one of the bad guys, kind of grew on me once I got to learn more about him, as his damaged layers were slowly peeled back as you read through the book. He is torn between doing what's right and doing what his father expects of him, so his vulnerability is easily visible. The book does a great job of detailing the internal conflicts and thoughts of the kidnappers. For me the story was just as much about Griffin as it was about Cheyenne. I felt that it was just as important to try to "free" Griffin as it was to free Cheyenne. There are certain parallels in their lives that allow for them to relate - or seemingly so - which you have to decide, is it a genuine connection or a strategic one? You'll have to make up your own mind about this if you read this book. I found myself caring about what happened to the characters. And I was rooting for Cheyenne the whole time. The exciting part about reading this book is that it's unpredictable - to me at least - because it could go either way, good or bad. I didn't know what was going to happen next, which made the journey more thrilling and suspenseful. Money is such a powerful incentive for some of the captors that they are willing to selfishly hold Cheyenne for ransom despite never being kidnappers before. Even though Cheyenne is literally the blind one, for me it felt like her captors were also "blind," being blinded by money. You get to see the extent to which some people will go for money and how greed can affect some people in a negative way by clouding and overpowering rational reasoning and good judgement in the weak-minded. The book has a lot of underlying depth, dealing with themes and issues of peer pressure, morality, trust, the handicapped, overcoming obstacles, courage, and hope. I highly recommend reading this book!

    Great book!

    As you can read from the synopsis, the protagonist Cheyenne is sick and blind. But her bad luck doesn't end there. When her stepmother, Danielle drives her to a pharmacy to get medicine supplies, she asks her to leave the key in the ignition to keep her warm. Then, when someone enters the car, she realizes from the person's micro-behaviours that he/she is definitely not Danielle. That's when reality hits - her car is stolen, and worse, she's inside it!

    This book is different from other books which I've read before. I think the best thing about this book is that the author has successfully portrayed Cheyenne's character. Having a blind protagonist is not easy, and I'm sure April has done quite a lot of researching and reading on this part. She also narrates Cheyenne's story skillfully, telling us what she feels at a particular moment, how she reacts to perilous events, and how she learns to trust one of her captors who promises to let her go.

    Griffin steals a Cadillac Escalade on a whim, without realizing that there's a girl in the backseat. When he discovers her, it is too late to let her go. So he brings her back to his dad's place, along with the car. He promises her that he will let her go once it is dark. But his dad declares that they will keep her as a captive after listening to the news broadcast reporting about the missing Cheyenne Wilder, for her father is Nike's president, and she is their one-way-ticket to wealth.

    The friendship between Cheyenne and Griffin is honest and unfeigned, although it seems out of place because of their different roles - one captive and the other the captor. But still, Cheyenne doesn't trust Griffin entirely, despite the fact that he's the only one who's kind towards her. She even tries to knock him unconscious on the day his father and his sidekicks go to get the ransom which they demanded earlier from Cheyenne's father. I don't blame her for this, because this only proves that her survival instincts are functional. I really admire Cheyenne's extraordinary spirit and strength. You would probably think that being blind, she will just give up and surrender. But this tough teenage girl will absolutely prove you wrong. She faces the problem calmly, and even tries to escape without the help of her cane. Her courage and determination to keep herself alive is indeed commendable. I couldn't imagine myself going through everything that Cheyenne has gone through - it was a really scary experience. And what's worse is that she's blind.

    Girl, Stolen is really amazing! I devoured the book in one-sitting. The story is fast-paced thrilling and heart-gripping. Even though I constantly feared for Cheyenne's safety, I remained hopeful for her survival. The climax of this novel left me in awe with the author's creativity and brilliance. The twist she inserted made my insides churn with fear for Cheyenne's fate. I went Oh, no! when her ticket to safety is suddenly ripped into pieces. I'll stop here so that I don't accidentally spill anything. If you want to know whether Cheyenne escapes efficaciously, you'll have to read this book to find out.

    Note: This book is a clean read. I highly recommend this book to everyone who enjoys a great, thrilling story.

    While Cheyenne is resting in the back of her step mom’s es

    While Cheyenne is resting in the back of her step mom’s escalade; Griffin (thief) steals the car without knowing that Cheyenne is resting there. As Griffin continues stealing the car with a screaming Cheyenne in the back seat, he comes to find out that she’s blind and has pneumonia. Griffin decides that he could use her as ransom for is dad. But what they come to find out, is that Cheyenne’s dad is the president of Nike. As Cheyenne manipulates Griffin into sympathizing with her, she hopes that he’ll eventually let her go. Cheyenne and Griffin have a very strange, cool relationship as the story unfolds.
    Cheyenne is still blind, and despite her handicap, she still kicks butt. Her senses are ten times stronger than normal people. As she realizes it’s her time to escape after ransom is discussed, she goes for it. I cannot tell you what happens, you’ll just have to read for yourself.
    The characters in this book are very vivid, and I can imagine myself being right there with Cheyenne. Hoping that I can jump in and help her, but sadly, I cannot.
    There are many twists and turns in this book, but if you’re not one for creepy things, I wouldn’t read this book. If you love action, suspense, or not being able to keep your nose out of a book; this book is for you.
    April Henry opened a new world for me in not only books, but life. The book titled Girl, stolen is one of my top five favorite books of all time. I’ve gained a new perspective on life, and trust. I love this book, and I will read it over and over again.

    I really enjoyed reading Girl, Stolen. This was a novel that had quite an interesting plot compared to other stories similar to it due to the fact that Cheyenne is blind and sick with pneumonia. The pace of the book is fairly fast, although I must say, some parts of the story when Cheyenne is in captivity can get a little bit slow, and where I got stuck. Once you get past those couple of chapters, the ending is AWESOME! It has a lot of twists and turns that keep you right on the edge of your seat, not sure if Cheyenne will ever be safe again. The story also adds in another dynamic in that it switches off from Griffin, the accidental kidnapper, and Cheyenne's point of view. It is also really cool seeing how Griffin and Cheyenne's relationship develops which is quite unique. The ending will also keep you wondering what happens to the characters, still on the edge of your seat. Girl, Stolen is a great book that I would reccomend to readers who enjoy thrillers or realistic fiction.

    I liked this book.... sort of.

    It was a good book but disturbing, violent, and dark. I found myself questioning the characters in some parts and the authors writing in others. Over all, an okay book.
