What's it like to be Hostage

The most fascinating story of the year is Hostage by Willo Davis Roberts. Hostage is about a girl named Kasey who walked in on her house being robbbed. She hid, but they soon found her. Scared of what to do they dragged her out of the house and took her with them. I believe this book's theme is to never give up, be brave, strong and patient durning rough times. Willo Davis Roberts wrote many other stories along with Hostage. She writes many books with alot of suspense just like this story. I figure this is just another book to add to her collection, althouh each book is different and unique in it's own way. Many things have been said about Willo's books such as "her suspense keeps me always intrested!" Willlo Davis Roberts books are open to a wide varity of audiences. Mostly for those who like to read books with alot of suspense and sometimes needing to come up with your own endings for the story.

An Adventure Book That Will Keep You Guessing!

I read this book when I was in the car driving to my grandparents house. I love mystery but I had not found the perfect book for me. Generally they would be boring or not very scary. I liked this book because it put the main character in almost a life/death situation. Kaci is a normal girl around 11 and she loves adventure. Kaci comes home to get her allergy medication and she comes upon her house being burglarized. Kaci begins to panic because the only phone is downstairs and she is upstairs. Kaci tries to escape but she is caught. How will Kaci escape? Will she get hurt? Will she die? To answer all of these questions read "Hostage" by Willo Davis Roberts.

Amazing Book!!

This book was some amazing that i would recmend this book for all ages. This book is about a girl named Kaci. Kaci loved scary movies. She loved when the hairs all over her body stood stright. She loved adventures. .Kaci always wondered why nothing ever exciting happened to her. So Kaci wished for something exciting to happen to her. Kaci always thought that she would be ready for an adverture if one ever came along. But, she didn't know how stupid of an idea that was until one came along. Kaci had an allergy attack in school and had to go home and get her medicane (which was nasil spray). She had nocticed that her front door was unlocked and that there were big boxes in her house. Was something getting delivered she wondered? Anyway she went up into her bedroom to get the spray when she noticed that her lamp was missing. She checked in her sisters'but did not find it. But, when she went into her brothers' room she found that his radio was missing to. then all of a sudden Kaci heard vocies. when she perred downstaries she couldn't believe her eyes. She had saw buglars. They wer talking about the stuff that they were going to take. They were talking about taking the piano. So one of the buglars went upstairs to get cloths to cover up the piano (so it would not get scratched). Kaci had thought the buglar had went downstairs, so she got out of her hiding place. but to her suprise he found her. when they were ready to leave they took her with her. What will happen to Kaci? Will she survive? Find out when ypu read this great book Hostage!!Katie

What Hostage Was Like.

i think that hostage was a wonderful book, but i would only reccomend it to people who like adventurous books and who like scary books. the book will teach you that what happened in the book could actually happen to you! but all in all, this book was interesting and it left me breathless in some parts of the book.
