STOLEN - A LETTER TO MY CAPTOR by LUCY CHRISTOPHER

In a shocking opening scene, 16-year-old Gemma is drugged and kidnapped from Bangkok airport by the attractive but sinister Ty. She wakes up alone with him in an isolated house in the middle of the Australian outback, from which escape seems impossible. Written in the form of a letter to her captor, Gemma’s story explores her increasingly complicated feelings for Ty, against the vividly
portrayed, desolate landscape. With disturbing and thought-provoking themes, this is a hard-hitting read for older teens.
