(I know ... the cover is similar to Extremely loud and incredibly close)
This was a really exciting read. Cheyenne is a young 16 yr old girl who is suffering from pneumonia and waiting in the back seat of her step mother's car, when it is stolen. Situation bad enough.... worse when you are blind!
Cheyenne must try to stay calm and use all her senses to help her gain valuable information and clues to aid her escape. Although Griffin, the man who stole the car, didn't know she was there when he broke into the car and drove off, he did have opportunity to return her to where he found her, but his fear of his father's ridicule of not being able to even steal a car properly, causes Griffin to panic. Once they find out Cheyenne's father is a wealthy business man they decide to blackmail him for a ransom for his daughter's safe return.
This is a book that will have you on edge of your seat. You feel for Cheyenne and wonder how she will break free of their grip. She is very clever and extremely brave throughout the story. A great read.
