Customer Reviews

I’ve been looking for this book for almost 20 years.

It’s a really good book that’s has plagued my mind for almost 20 years. My 3rd grade teacher read book to me and around 15 other 8 year olds. Should this book be read to 8 year olds probably not but it took 20 years and several emails to the library of congress to find this book. It’s a quick book but also kick started my love of true crime. Thank you Cheryl for helping me find this book!!!

Don't Miss This Book!

The book "Prisoners of the Kitchen Table" is an exciting book involving friendship, teamwork and courage. A neighbor boy named Josh and a girl named Polly get "KIDNAPPED" and taken far away. The get taken to an old house in the middle of a cornfield. The kidnappers told the parents of the children, "No funny business with the police or you'll never see your kids again. You'll both have to pay $100,000 to us to get your kids back." Trapped in a house out in a field, with no luck of help coming, they think they are lost. What will happen to them? Will they stay with these people forever or will they ever get home? Read more to find out!!I think this book would be good for people who like mysteries and danger put together. Parents, don't think this book is wrong for your child/children. Even though there is a bank robbery and guns, it also ia a good story of friendship and teamwork for your child to learn.
