This will be a mini-review, instead of a full one, since the book in question is less than 150 pages long and told in the omniscient viewpoint, so character complexity is minimal.

Ransom, by Lois Duncan, is a very good book. It is a realistic fiction book.
In Ransom five kids from a rich neighborhood are kidnapped and kept for ransom, but only a few families are able to stretch their money and use it for the ransom. This book is about what the kids, and parents, go through when the kids are kidnapped.
Ransom was a very good book and keeps you interested throughout the whole entire book. If you like exciting and exhilarating books you will love this one.

The book ransom is a very good book. It has kept me interested through the last word. The moral behind the story was great; the grass is not always greener on the other side. The moral is a common one, but in this story you see it in a different way.
The kidnappers plan the whole thing out. They would kidnap the kids that lived in valley gardens, a place thought to be all rich people. The kids are riding the bus home from school unexpectedly as they do every day, then all of the sudden they go ... Read More
