From the cover: In the beginning it is just another bus ride home from school It doesn't seem odd that the driver is a stranger. Suddenly they realize they are the last five students on the bus, which is moving steadily down an unfamiliar road. Locked together in silent fear are quiet Bruce, his self-assured brother Glenn, sulky Dexter, pretty Marianne, and shy Jesse. What reason would anyone have to kidnap them? Where are they being taken? Will they find a way out?

Geared for younger readers, this book is a very quick read, yet can still captivate it's readers. I was some what surprised in the way some characters turned out to be. If your looking for a quick, attention getting read, this book might just be the perfect one for you.
