Stolen

              Stolen is about a girl, Gemma who is captured by a man, Ty at an airport going on a family vacation. Ty captures her and takes her to the middle of nowhere, where he lives and says she is going to live with him. And he's not what you would think a kidnapper would be like, he is in love with Gemma. He had been following her for 6 years to find the moment to take her. The book is written as a letter to Ty from Gemma. At first Gemma tries to escape but Ty keeps telling her there's no one around and she'll never make it out there. He tries to make Gemma enjoy being there and she hates it.
               Then she starts to fall for him, while he made a deal that if she still hates it after 4 months, she can leave and he'll take her to the next town. But right as she's falling for him, she is bitten by a snake. Ty has antivenom but it doesn't work so he has to take her to the nearest mine site, where Gemma is saved and Ty is arrested. Then in court Gemma is caught about what to say because she can either say what they want her to that he took her and she hated it. Or she could say that she was falling for him and that she wasn't completely upset about being taken. In the end you don't know what she does but she says that she hopes one day he'll make it out of jail and return to his home and finish his home.
               I think that the theme of this book is you can't always trust yourself and first impressions. Gemma's first impression was that Ty would beat her and rape her and torture her. Then she thought he was a psychopath who had been stalking her since she was 10. But as she learns more about him she realizes how much he's been through and he's actually a warm hearted person. Gemma also can't trust herself because she doesn't know what she's feeling. At first she was plotting how to kill him and kept  a knife under her bed. Then she still thought he would hurt her so she was always hesitant to be near him. Then as she falls for him she knows she can't because a part of her still wants to get out of there. She can't trust her opinions and she can't fully trust Ty.

prom

Prom is about a girl named Ashley who never wants to go to prom but then someone steals all the prom money. The one who stole it was the teacher in charge of prom. Then Ashley is the one who comes in and saves the prom. But then she gets banned because of all of her detentions. but she goes anyway and it turns out well. 

I think the theme of this book is to never give up and always keep trying. Sometimes you have lots of problems and you just want to give up. But this book teaches you that you really shouldn't give up. And that you can't just say it's to hard and not just saying it's too difficult.
