I didn't mind the rain today because I had this book to read! THE GIRL IN THE WHITE VAN by April Henry is definitely a page-turner, and I believe one of her best. Told in alternating voices, readers get into the minds of multiple characters as the thriller unfolds.
Savannah has moved every year for as long as she can remember. Her mother follows men from city to city, and Savannah seems to just tag along. Now they are in Portland, Oregon, and she's hoping to stay put for awhile, but things aren't all hugs and kisses with her mom's boyfriend so who knows.
The martial arts class Savannah is taking is the only thing keeping her together. After watching through the window for a week, Savannah was invited in and now she's using her weekend babysitting money to pay for classes at the dojo.
After mopping up with a nice guy named Daniel, she heads home, but a strange man in a white van has other ideas. He grabs her in the deserted parking lot, tasers her, and drags her into the van. Channeling her hero Bruce Lee, Savannah slides to the back doors of the van and manages to leap out. Despite a broken wrist and abrasions from her frantic leap, she runs, but she winds up unconscious and back in the van.
When she wakes up, she is in an old RV and she's not alone. Another girl named Jenny has been a captive of Sir for ten months. Together they plan their escape. Can they avoid the vicious dog guarding the exterior of the RV? Can they outwit or attack their captor before he can kill them? Get a copy of THE GIRL IN THE WHITE VAN and find out for yourself!
