Three Days by Donna Jo Napoli

I’m doing a book review on Three Days, by Donna Jo Napoli. Its about a 11 year old girl Jackie, who is on a vacation with her dad in Italy. They are on their way back to the hotel, when her dad suddenly dies in the car. A car pulls over and they kidnap her. Then they take her back to the house. They try to really nice to her, but she is super mad at them. In the end there is a big twist that will surprise you. This book is great if you are looking for a short and easy read. The recommended reading age for this book is 9-12. The Kirkus Review said, “While perhaps emotionally convincing within the terms of the story, it nevertheless strains credulity to the limit in every other way. Still, if readers are sufficiently grabbed by Jackie's ingenuous voice and her remarkable predicament, they may be willing to forgive the contrivance for the experience.”
