Review: Dear Amazon.com,
I read StormCatchers by Tim Bowler, in less then one day! It was a great read, with an exciting beginning, a captivating middle, and a surprising ending. It's definitely a page-turner. Here's a review.

"She was simply crying. Crying as the rain drove into her face, crying as the gate opened before her. Crying as he took her away."

Tap.Tap.Tap. Fin has gone to check out Billy's new computer, and leaves his brother and sister, Sam and Ella, at home. Little does he know that something devastating is about to take place. In the middle of this coastal storm, Ella has been stolen away by a mysterious kidnapper at night. The Parnell family is shocked-and is being torn apart by Ella's kidnapping. The kidnapper is showing no sign of relenting, giving any information on Ella's state, and saying what he really wants. Until one day, he reveals his plans, and tells the Parnell family what he wants with Ella. On the other hand, Sam has been frequently running towards the old Pengrig lighthouse to catch the Storm. Sam has been talking to himself. When asked, he simply replies, "It's a secret." As time goes on, the Parnell family is forced to unravel their past, full of their deepest, darkest secrets. Maybe getting Ella back wasn't as easy as they thought.

Tim Bowler binds the reader with this science fiction book with surprising twists. As the suspense builds up, you find out who the real criminal is. Love mystery? Then this book is for you. A mystery with a long past-it can't get any better than that!

She was kidnapped by a young man and brought to a cave under an abandonmenemt lighthouse. Ella's brother had to live with the fact that he let the kidnapper get his sister.

There is a bum in town and he got a hold of pictures of the two having an affair, he threatened to release the photos and black mailed him for money. Every week Ella's father would deliver money to the bum to keep him quit about the affair. Meanwhile the boy was growing up and the mother had a second child (little blond girl), Ella's father had never the two of them before. While Ella's father was sketching the lighthouse one-day he say the 2nd child(little blond girl) ran by him, even though he had never seen the girl before he knew it was her. He accidentally scared her and she ran off the cliff. The 1st child (boy) had out live to with the thought of him letting her sister run off the cliff his whole life. Now he was getting back at Ella's dad by kidnapping Ella. Will Ella make it out of the cave alive?

I like this book because it was very unpredictable and in the end the whole book came together at the end. I also liked the suspenseful part of the book. I thought it was well written and used goo description.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mystery books. I also recommend this book to anyone who likes suspenseful books and anyone who enjoys books with an unexpected ending.

Summary: Ella's Kidnapping
Review: The story begins by introducing you to Ella Parnell. She is home alone with her little brother Sam. While her brother is asleep she sees a man in the reflection of the window, and turns around. Suddenly the man gets her, and kidnaps her.
Fin arrives home to a note stating if he tells anyone that Ella is missing, she would die. A few days go by and finally the man calls. He demands that Fin bring two hundred-thousand dollars to the famous, abandoned, Pengrig lighthouse
The Parnells realize where the boy was taking Ella, and went on their boat to the largest of the Fury Islands also. When they tie up to the dock there, they hear a gunshot, and follow the sound to the source. They find both Ella and the boy lying against the rock when they realize that Ella was the live one. She tells them that the boy was the one who shot himself since he was so upset with what he did.
I would recommend this book for mainly one important aspect, the suspense. Because the book was very suspenseful and intriguing, it made me want to keep reading it and never put it down. The way the author set up the dialogue, made you ponder over what would happen next. So if you are ever bored, and need a good book, you should stop by your nearest public library and check out Storm Catchers by Tim Bowler.
