Ever been kidnapped?...Kathy Young has!!!

The book, Who Stole Kathy Young?, is about two girls who are cousins named Meg and Kathy. Meg and Kathy both live in Texas. The story is set in summer and Meg and Kathy always the tourists that come for vacation. They saw two tourists that seemed a bit weird to them but didn't really think anything of it until they began to follow them. Next Meg sees Kathy a little further down he road being shoved into a van. Meg automatically thinks it must be those two tourists that they had seen earlier. Police search parties are sent out searching for Kathy but they can't find her. Meg decides that just waiting isn't helping so she starts to search for Kathy herself with a boy named Julian. While all of this searching for Kathy is going on, Kathy herself is trying to escape. I liked this book because it makes you want to keep on reading to figure out who the kidnapper was or what big thing was going to happen next in the story. It was very descriptive but some parts were a little bit hard to understand. Overall though the author got the main parts in the book that you needed to know out so it got easier to understand. The book was very well written and I couldn't guess who the kidnapper was before the names were actually revealed. The book made you want to keep reading on, and that's how you can tell if it's good or not. Out of 5 stars I give it 4 just because of those few parts that were hard to understand. I enjoyed this book and I do recommend it to others.
