Stolen


Stolen by Vivian Vande Velde is a captivating read for upper elementary school aged children and up. One can't help but get wrapped up in the story from the very start. A witch has stolen a young child and six years later the child reappears with no memories of the witch or of her past life. Her family attempts to settle in to a normal life again but there is doubt of the child's true identity. This book has so many twists and turns that surely M. Night Shyamalan would be intrigued. The ending falls into place like a puzzle finally coming together. Great read!!
