Matt is missing. Bonnie's brother left his classroom to use thebathroom —and disappeared. A police dog traces his scent to the curb, where he apparently got into a vehicle. But why would Matt go anywhere with a stranger? Overwhelmed with fear, Bonnie discovers that her dog is gone, too. Was Pookie used as a lure for Matt? Bonnie makes one big mistake in her attempt to find her brother. In a chilling climax on a Washington State ferry, Bonnie and Matt must outsmart their abductor or pay with their lives.

Review

Highly suspenseful. -- Kirkus Reviews

About the Author

Peg Kehret was born in Wisconsin, grew up in Minnesota, spent fourteen years in California, and now lives with her husband in Washington State. They have two grown children, four grandchildren, one dog, and one cat.

Peg's novels for children are regularly recommended by the American Library Association, the International Reading Association, and the Children's Book Council. She has won many state "young reader" or "children's choice" awards. Peg's characters are ordinary kids who find themselves in exciting situations and who use their wits to solve their problems. There is usually humor as well as suspense in her books. A long-time volunteer at The Humane Society, she often uses animals in her stories.

Before she began writing books for children, Peg published plays, short stories, articles, and two books for adults. She is a frequent speaker at conferences for librarians and teachers.

At the age of twelve, Peg had polio and was paralyzed from the neck down. Because she can remember that experience and her year of recovery so vividly, she finds it easy to write in the viewpoint of a twelve or thirteen year old. Most of her main characters are that age. Her autobiography, Small Steps: The Year I Got Polio, won the Golden Kite Award from the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators, and the PEN Center USA West Award for Children's Literature.

When she is not writing, Peg likes to watch baseball, bake cookies, and pump her old player piano.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I've published 53 books; all but two are for children. I wrote magazine articles, short stories, and plays for many years before I discovered that what I like best is to write books for kids.

When I was twelve, I was paralyzed with polio. I made almost a full recovery but I remember that time of my life so clearly that it's easy for me to write from the viewpoint of a twelve or thirteen-year-old.

I'm always thrilled when one of my books wins a state young reader award, because I know those awards are voted on by children.

I am a widow who was married for 48 years. I have two grown children and four grandchildren. I live on a small wildlife sanctuary near Mt. Rainier National Park and I often have deer and elk in my yard.

Read this book along with my son who is in 6th grade. He really does not like reading and would much rather play basketball or go do something outdoors:). However, we both enjoyed reading Abduction and talking about it after reading each day! I think the author did a great job of making you see how sick and cunning child abductors can be. I think this book helped my son see how easily someone can trick you into believing any story and will make him think twice if anyone ever approached him. Thanks for writing this!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great realistic fiction!
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2017

I was looking for a new book for my fifth grade book club group at school, and thought this one looked interesting. I was concerned that it might be too intense of a topic, so I wanted to read it first before purchasing it . I thought the author did a great job of making it realistic without it being over the top scary. I do think it will really make kids think about trusting someone they do not know!

This book kept the reader intrigued and never a dull moment! The characters seem so real! Not only was the book interesting, the book conveyed several moral content which served as a teaching moment and/or reiteration of right and wrong.
