The book is about a 13 year-old white boy and a 14 year-old indian. The white boy's name is Matt and the indian's is Attean. Matt and his dad built a cabin and his dad must get the rest of the family so Matt has to stay by himself in the cabin. During this time, Matt had some wonderful adventures. He met the indian boy and his grandpa when he got stung by bees. They became friends and Matt met the rest of Attean's family - his grandma and his sister - and even the tribe members.

At the end his family came to the cabin and found Matt being O.K. The indians left before that knowing more white men would come.

I liked the book because the two boys did a lot of cool stuff together. I also like their friendship.

Kidnapped~The Search

The book has 138 pages and 26 chapters. It continues from Kidnapped~The Abduction.



I hoped to find out about Meg in this book, but I also knew that there would be no third book if she is found.

In this book only Aiden (Meg's brother) was searching for her. He didn't find her =[ I don't know why the FBI or her parents didn't search for her.

By the end of the book, Meg escaped. She ran through the woods and found a telephone pole. She climbed up it, cut a little of a wire, and sent a S.O.S. Sadly, nobody came. After a couple of minutes Meg decided to keep on running. She kept running on and on. Soon she fell in a ditch and sprained her ankle. She decided to cover up the ditch and sleep in it. She couldn't get any sleep so she kept on walking. A while later a big blizzard cam out of no where...
