From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6-From the very first chapter of this exciting story by Donna Jo Napoli (Dutton, 2001), listeners will be hooked. Eleven-year-old Jackie and her father are on a driving tour of Italy when her dad suffers a fatal heart attack. He manages to stop the car on the side of the road before he passes out. Jackie tries to get help, and finally two Italian men stop and take her into their car. Instead of taking her to the police, they drive her to a cottage in the Italian countryside where she is forced to stay. None of these individuals speak English, and Jackie doesn't speak Italian. A woman feeds and cares for Jackie. Jackie doesn't understand why they won't let her go to the police and get home to her mother. She finally realizes that she has been brought there as a replacement for the woman's dead daughter. Julie Dretzin does a wonderful job of narrating this suspenseful story told from Jackie's point of view. Sound quality is excellent. For school and public libraries.
