GRASPS BY CASSIE ST. PETER

My book is called hostage.
I chose my book because I love mysteries and suspenseful books so I was looking in the mystery section of the library and there it was. So I picked it up and checked it out. I think it interested me because the name of the book was really intriguing.
I felt it was an appropriate level of difficulty because I found it in my school library and on the back It says ages 8-13

Kaci had always wanted to go on a adventure but she didn't expect her adventure to be held as a captive! So she was coming home from school to grab her allergy medicine and no one was home at the time, or so she thought. There were actually three men robbing their house! The men found her and they didn't want to just leave her there so they took her with them, along with the neighbor Mrs. Banducci. Then they found a phone called the police and returned home.

SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT

At the end of my Book they realized that the bag they had was her sister bag! So then kaci searched through it and found a phone! Her sister was not supposed to have it but she stole it from her dad! But that didn't matter now they just needed to call 911! So she calls 911 and gives them the best description of where they are. They say that they will send a search team and come looking for them. finally the police arrive and then a captor comes in with a knife! He looks like he's going to kill them both so Kaci reaches for whatever is closest to her, it's a glue bottle. So right when he launched at her with the knife she squirts him right in the face. The police catch all three of the captors and they all go to jail. The family
gets their stuff back and Kaci and Mrs. Banducci make it back safe and sound.

LIFE LESSON

  • I think the author was trying to teach us that you might not get exactly what you wish for

CONFLICT

  • Kaci really wants to go on a adventure but then 3 big tall bad guys get in her way and abduct her The character should have worked out the conflict by looking in the backpack earlier to she what she has to work with because then she could have found the phone earlier


This novel has changed me by being more cautious of my surroundings and lock the front door when I'm home alone.

QUESTIONS

  • I would ask him why did the characters move in the beginning of the book to get away from a dangerous neighborhood when all they did was move into another one?
