Twice Taken

The Story

It seems incredible that a call-in TV show  featuring pictures of missing children could change her  life so drastically, but when a 16-year-old  recognizes her father in the photo on the screen, she  discovers that the family who's been searching for  their daughter is looking for  her. But who is she? Brooke or Amy?  She's been living with her father and now learns  he's taken her illegally. Who do you love when  everyone says they love you? How can anyone know which  parent loves you most? Susan Beth  Pfeffer delivers yet another hard-hitting novel  that delves into the issues that confront real teens  today. 'Lively narration,  peppered with wry, insightful wit, and the story's  balanced resolution make it enjoyable  reading....'--School Library  Journal 'Pfeffer perfectly conveys Brooke's hurt  and resentment.... Readers will share Brooke's  anxiety as she tries to adapt to a new family while  remaining loyal to her father, and they'll  understand her anger when she finally realizes the cost of  her father's  actions.'--Booklist 'The emotions are  raw...but the story combines the draw of sensational  headlines with an understanding of teenage  struggles.'--The Bulletin of the Center for  Children's  Books 'The author maintains so brisk a pace and so  appealingly plumbs her heroine's emotional life that the  reader will want to believe in the  story.'--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
