In the book Abduction, Matt leaves his classroom at the end of the day to go to the bathroom when he meets a “UPS man” who is really his father who he never knew existed. His father, Denny, is here, at the school, to kidnap his son into his car to take him to show his sister and brother-in-law that he does have a son. He is kidnapping Matt because he doesn’t have custody over his son. When Matt doesn’t meet his sister, Bonnie, at the bus stop as he normally does Bonnie goes to his classroom and she can’t find him anywhere then the staff of the school go searching to when they can’t find him either they decide to call the police and get them involved with it. Later on in the book when Bonnie goes to the baseball game she notices someone who looks like her brother but is wearing glasses and has dark hair. So to figure this out she tells her friends that she’s going to see a friend when she follows Matt and he eventually sees her he yells to her and then she sees who he’s with, Denny. So that Bonnie won’t go and tell the police Denny also take Bonnie with him. As the story comes to an end some things work out for the better some for the worst.
In Abduction the person that I despise the most would be Denny because he is very rude and neglectful to Matt after he kidnaps him. All Denny wants to do is use him to show his family that he really does have a son because he’s jealous of them with their children since they clam he doesn’t have any children. Denny is also a big gambler so he wins a lot of money then will buy Matt toys then when he loses a bet he returns all of the toys and games for money which upsets Matt. Denny also threatens Matt with a gun that he carries around with him in case Matt does something he doesn’t want him to do or if Matt is annoying Denny he will put his hand in his coat so Matt knows that he must stop. If I had to explain this book in ten words it would be…page turning and an adventures story about two very brave children.
