Summary: Hostage by Willo Robert Davis
Review: Hostage by Willo Davis Roberts was a fairly well written book. Although the story, kept me on my toes, it was written for a young reader. I would recommend this book to kids who are younger and would like a good book. It started off with some dull factors which I didn't find interesting. As the book gradually progressed, it kept coming out with material that would catch me off guard, therefore, leaving me in suspense.
This book is about a little girl, Kaci Dummond, who wishes to get any sort of excitement in her life. After a robbery took place in her neighborhood, the family does not feel safe and decides to move. They then decide to move to a place called Lofty Cedar Estates looking for a safer environment.
One day, Kaci has to come home to pick up her allergy medicine and realizes that is it not as safe as she thought. She comes home to find out that her house has been robbed and the robbers are still in the house. She realizes that she is in for more of an adventure than she would have ever thought about. The robbers stumble across Kaci and take her into captivity. Upon leaving and taking merchandise from the house, the neighbor sees the burglars, which forces them to take the neighbor as well. The robbers then leave and start off to a abandoned warehouse. They take the items and pawn them off to other crooks in a smuggling ring. Kaci, as bright as she is, decides to try and escape. She is successful and decides to run towards the nearest town. She tries to talk to the people of the town and they do not believe her about what is going on. Kaci then decides to take matters into her own hands and rescue the neighbor.
As the book progressed I became more attached to it every word. Within the last couple of chapters, the book leaves you wondering about what is going to happen. As a fellow reader, I am a person who likes this kind of suspense. If you are into books that catch you off guard, this is a book that I would suggest you read.

Summary: A Mystery to Scare You By Celene from Cutchogue East
Review: In "Hostage", by Willo Davis Roberts, the main character is Kaci, she is an average 11 year old who loves to read mysteries and suspenseful stories. She has a 15-year-old brother named Jeff who loves to play piano and is exceptionally good for his age. Kaci also has two younger siblings, Jodie, who is very neat, and Wally who is the opistite of Jodie, a complete mess. All the children convince their parents to move to Lofty Cedars, a new housing complex. The first person Kaci meets in Lofty Cedars is her nosey neighbor, Mrs. Banducci. On Kaci's first day of Middle School, she has an allergy attack, and is forced to go back to her house to get her allergy medication. While Kaci is upstairs she hears voices in the house. She then realizes that these voices belong to three men who are robbing her house of all its new possessions. When the robbers go upstairs they find Kaci hiding in fear and tie her up so that she can't run away. When Mrs. Banducci comes over, being the nosey person she is, they capture her too. The robbers take Kaci and Mrs. Banducci to a strange place, while they are blindfolded in the back of their truck. Kaci thinks that Mrs. Banducci will mess up her escape, but in the end she ends up providing much needed aid to Kaci. This book kept me entertained and wondering what would happen next.

Summary: An Adventure Book That Will Keep You Guessing!
Review: Kaci Drummond loves reading mysteries and other exciting stories. She has a little brother, named Wally, who is really messy, a little sister, Jodie, who is very neat, and everything she owns is pink and white checked with ruffles, and an older brother, Jeff, who is just an ordinary 15 year old boy who loves playing piano. They are moving to Lofty Cedar Estates, a subdivision near town. They meet one neighbor, Mrs. Banducci, who is very nosy and needs to know everything that is going on in everyone else's lives.
One day at school, Kaci gets a very bad allergy attack, so she goes home to get her medicine. When she gets there, there are robbers. Mrs. Banducci comes over to see what is going on. Because Mrs. Banducci and Kaci have seen their faces, they will either kill them or kidnap them.
I like Kaci because she is a lot like me; she likes reading mysteries. Even though she was terrified when the burglars found her, she did the right thing, which was trying to call the neighbors or leave a note for her parents.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes exciting books. It was so exciting, I could hardly put it down, especially towards the end when she tries to escape.
