Hi my name is Stephen Rossi and the two books I read over the summer were Taken and Twisted. Taken is written by Edward Bloor and Twisted is written by Laurie Halse Anderson. I enjoyed both of these books and they were also an easy read. Taken takes place in 2035 and is about kidnappers and how the number of kidnappers in the United States was increasing. It is about about girl named Charity Meyers and how she lives in a very protected place away from kidnappers but somehow they manage to kidnap her. Her parents have to pay the kidnappers to let her go. In the story she makes good decisions which will help her. The book is exciting and suspenseful and I recommend the book to anyone.
