Hugh asked Amy if she had mosquito bites and she said just allergies. Amy then examined the vehicle and all she knew was that it was a small van. She found a logo on the back of the van and it said Dodge Caravan. Hugh and Smokey stole the van because Smokey said "These plates won't trace back to us anyway. They'll lead to whoever owns the van." Amy is pretty smart for saying Aunt Cara and Uncle Van and Mrs. White. Hugh muttered "He maybe my nephew but he's still as stupid as a stump."Amy repeated nanny over in her head a few times to get an idea. Then she got an idea she would say mama goat because mama means nanny. Amy saw that Hugh was asleep so she decided to run away with Kendra. She brought a bag of some beef jurky, some hershy bars and a bottle of water. Then she ran a little walked a little and then Kendra said Tubby tired so  then Amy carryed Kendra and Amy was hoping that Hugh was not awake and Smokey would not see her on the side of the road

Amy was hoping that Smokey would check the expiration dates on anything he bought.Amy and Kendra both ate stale crackers as they rode. "Slow down," Hugh said. "I can't tell where the road is."Smokey ignored him. The lane curved sharply to the left, and as the car went around the curve there was a loud clunk.Amy wondered if when Hugh picked up Kendra did she lay her shoulder on him like she did when he was carrying her down the road I think Amy is a germfobe. Amy was trying to stay awake but then she fell asleep.

Two boys abducted in Missouri were found in a St. Louis suburb last Friday, in the home of a pizza shop employee. One had been missing for less than a week, the other for more than four years. News reports cited a statistic that 800,000 children disappear every year-or about 2,000 a day. Seriously? How reliable are these numbers?

Reliable enough, but easily misinterpeted. Like most crime statistics, abduction numbers are fungible since they depend so much on whether the crime gets reported and how you define abduction. Saying a child is "missing" can mean any number of things; a child who has run away from home counts the same as a kidnapped murder victim. For officials, the total number includes those who fall into several different categories: family abduction, nonfamily abduction, runaways, throwaways (abandoned children), or lost and "otherwise missing" children. Local police departments register missing children with the federal National Criminal Information Center database, specifying what type of abduction it is.

When the categories get conflated, the statistics can become confusing. Take the number 800,000: It's true that 797,500 people under 18 were reported missing in a one-year period, according to a 2002 study. But of those cases, 203,900 were family abductions, 58,200 were nonfamily abductions, and only 115 were "stereotypical kidnappings," defined in one study as "a nonfamily abduction perpetrated by a slight acquaintance or stranger in which a child is detained overnight, transported at least 50 miles, held for ransom or abducted with the intent to keep the child permanently, or killed." Even these categories can be misleading: Overstaying a visit with a noncustodial parent, for example, could qualify as a family abduction. Some individuals get entered into the database multiple times after disappearing on different occasions, resulting in potentially misleading numbers.

But in other ways, the NCIC may understate the figures. Many missing persons aren't reported at all-a 1997 study estimated that only 5 percent of nonfamily abductions (in which a nonfamily member detains a child using force for more than an hour) get reported to police. Some police departments may not even bother filing a report when a kid runs away from home for a few days. It's also easy to lose track of abduction cases, since some of them get filed away under associated crimes, like homicide or sexual assault.

Until the early '80s, investigating cases of missing children was left entirely up to local officials, who didn't have an alert system in place or a central database to keep records. But after a series of high-profile abductions in the late 1970s and early '80s, like those of 6-year-olds Etan Patz and Adam Walsh (son of America's Most Wanted host John Walsh), Congress passed legislation creating the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, an organization that monitors the FBI's database of missing children and collaborates with local law enforcement to get the word out. In recent years, states implemented " Amber laws," named after 9-year-old murder victim Amber Hagerman, setting up an alert system for missing children.

Amy was supposed to take care of Lucky the dog one night when Mr. Prendell  had to stay at work until midnight. That night she forgot to take care of Lucky. Lucky could have waited for dinner and he did but he couldn't wait to be walked. Then the next day when she was told that she forgot to take care of Lucky her Mom yell at her for not emptying the dishwasher. Her Dad then yelled at her even more for forgetting to take care of Lucky.  That was the last conversation her and her Dad had because a speeding car ran a red light and killed her Dad. Amy was sitting by the pool and then she got awoken by a noise so she looked to see if Kedra a little girl  was awake from her nap but she wasn't in her room. Then she remembered that she didn't lock the front door. Something caught Amy's eye as she walked through the house it was Tubby Kendra's stuffed cat sitting in the sand outside she went outside to pick it up and when she got back in she knew that Kendra was kidnapped.

there is almost always a bad guy in the books

there is always a person that gets hurt or dies

there is almost always a pet in the book

I think there is going to be people who kidnaps a couple of kids then they will have to escape and maybe there will be a pet that helps too. I also think this book will be similar to Abduction because in that book looks similar to Stolen Children.
