About this eBook
This gripping, chillingly realistic novel from New York Times bestselling author Sharon Draper, “by turns pulse-pounding and inspiring” (Kirkus Reviews), shows that all it takes is one bad decision for a dream to become a nightmare.
Diamond knows not to get into a car with a stranger.
But what if the stranger is well-dressed and handsome? On his way to meet his wife and daughter? And casting a movie that very night—a movie in need of a star dancer? What then?
Then Diamond might make the wrong decision.
It’s a nightmare come true: Diamond Landers has been kidnapped. She was at the mall with a friend, alone for only a few brief minutes—and now she’s being held captive, forced to endure horrors beyond what she ever could have dreamed, while her family and friends experience their own torments and wait desperately for any bit of news.
From New York Times bestselling author Sharon Draper, this is a riveting exploration of power: how quickly we can lose it—and how we can take it back.

This book was so good.....I loved it and they should make another book that comes after this. I also think it would be a great movie to watch and I recommend people to read this book.

Decent enough story, but not on the same caliber as other books from Ms. Draper. This book barely scratches the surface of how intense an abduction can be and I feel as if this story was rushed and the emotional aspects of the story really suffered. I do, however, like how she tied Peter Pan into an entirely different, yet the same story. That was very creative. Alas, had it been longer, more detailed, and more realistic, it could have definitely been a great book.
