Although this is not a book I would have chosen for myself, I must say that it held my attention from beginning to end. I almost instantly felt like I was there watching the characters going through the situation put before them.Jack and his cousin Rosie are forced to fend for themselves in the woods after they are run off the road by a couple of psychos. Jack keeps leading Rosie around the woods trying to find the cabin they were staying at while she whines about the cold and being tired or hungry. About half way through their trek trough the woods they come upon the dog Mystery. Mystery's owner died and he ran away seeking comfort in the woods. As soon as Jack, Rosie, and Mystery get back to the cabin, they find that the people who ran them off the road are staying there! Sneaking around they find that they are holding a girl they kidnapped in one of the rooms. After a fight between Jack and the man who seems to be in charge, they get saved and return to their parents.There is a lot packed into this small book, but it will hold the attention of the reader. Travel through the cold woods with Jack and Rosie and watch how things change between the cousins who once hated each other. Plus, there is a secret about Jack that I won't tell you ;) Go read Knowing Jack to find out what exactly is Jack's secret.
