we are a group of 5th and 6th grade girls. Jack & Amy lose thier mother to an illnes. So they go looking for thier Uncle Sedgwick to take care of them. They meet a man and his wife, William & Catherine Booth , who started the Salvation Army. We liked the story because it was mysterous,exicting,adventurous,and teaches us about the Salvation Army and how they had to face persucution.

"Kidnapped by River Rats" is a book about Jack and his sister Amy. The book begins with them in London searching for their uncle. He is their only living relative. With no food, money, or a place to stay they must find their uncle before winter. If they don't, they could freeze. While searching for their uncle, they see the Salvation Army preaching the Bible in the streets. To see where the word kidnapped and the Salvation Army fit into the story, you'll have to read it for yourself! P.W. Age 13
