Synopsis: "A vivid new voice for teens."-Melvin Burgess, author of Sarah's Face and Bloodsong"All the tension of lightning, all the terror of thunder. A stunning, scary, and beautiful book. Stolen is a beautiful novel, which will pick up your world and shake it so hard that you can never be sure of anything again. Set in a landscape so exotic and powerful that it becomes one of the main characters in the book, this story of a boy and girl delivers one compelling scene after another.Ty and Gem will be in your head a long time. If you were getting tired of reading, Stolen will turn you back into an addict."-John Marsden, author of The Ellie Chronicles and The Tomorrow Series"This book is amazing. I love it. I wish I had written it- I mean that." [Lucy Christopher] is a very, very serious new talent and should be very proud of herself for writing such a mature, well-sustained, deceptively simple, utterly engrossing work. P.S. I am very worried about the camel."-Natasha Farrant, author of Diving Into Light and Some Other Eden"A strong, keenly written debut."-The Bookseller UK
