As always, Mazer has teen-agers down cold, and their voices are authentic and clear in this novel. Terri Mueller is an ordinary girl until she starts asking her father too many questions about her dead mother. Discovering that her father had kidnapped her after a custody battle changes her life, and the reader is right there with her every step of the way. One of my favorite young adult books. ( )

Interesting exploration of what happens when a teenager finds out her father kidnapped her from her mother, and that her mother is really alive. I enjoyed the book but am sad that so many children are abducted from the custodial parent. This story is well written and one that is difficult to put down. ( )
