| 'Take her out back and finish her off.' She doesn't know who she is. She doesn't know where she is, or why. All she knows when she comes to in a ransacked cabin is that there are two men arguing over whether or not to kill her. And that she must run. |

| Grades 8-11. Gaining consciousness, a young girl awakens in a deserted cabin and doesn't remember who she is or what has happened. As she is being dragged outside by a man, she grabs a stone, decks him, and escapes in his car. As it becomes obvious someone is trying to kill her, every safe haven turns dangerous until she reaches a McDonald's and encounters fellow teen Ty and is offered shelter. Narrator Panfilio initially relates Cady's situation in very practical, measured tones as she analyzes where she is and what she can do, but as the danger heightens, the tempo increases, and Cady's voice becomes higher pitched with worry. Panfilio gives nice-guy Ty a low, silky, and calming voice, while the man who terrorizes Cady gets a nasal, high-pitched voice. Fast-paced, suspenseful incidental music adds to this action-filled tale. Spencer Holley, Pam. CD., 5 hrs. AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION, c2013. |

| Gr 9 Up. Henry fans will be pleased with her latest thriller (Holt, 2013). Cady wakes up not knowing who she is or what has happened to her. Two of her finger nails have been pulled out and she's being held captive by two men who want her dead. Over the next 48 hours, she must unravel the mystery of who she is, try to save herself and her family, and bring down a biological weapons scheme. With only one ally, Ty, a teen whom she meets while on the run, the odds are not stacked in her favor. The plot is solid and moves quickly. Some details seem to be given too readily by the enemy, but listeners will forgive this because of the fast action and believable characters. Cristina Panfilio's narration helps to build suspense and she represents all of the characters with varying inflections. Give this title to fans of Henry's Girl, Stolen (Holt, 2010) or Caroline B. Cooney's Code Orange (Delacorte, 2005). Rebecca Flannery, Lyman Memorial High School, Lebanon, CT. 5 CDs 5:28 hrs. SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL, c2013. |
