Edgar Award finalist: When the strange new bus driver passes the last stop, the five teens on board know something's wrong: "[A] gripping thriller." —Publishers Weekly
Valley Gardens is the last stop on the bus route after school. The neighborhood is known for its wealthy families, perhaps the richest in town. Marianne, Bruce, Glenn, Dexter, and Jesse live in Valley Gardens, and have no trouble guiding the new bus driver to the last stop of the day—but the strange substitute driver keeps driving. Soon the five teenagers are hostages deep in the mountains. Their kidnappers demand stacks of money from their families, even though most of the students aren't as well off as the abductors assume. Without hope of raising the ransom money, the five teens must find a way out or face terrifying consequences.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Lois Duncan including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection.

Creepy and riveting!
This is only the fourth book I’ve read by Lois Duncan, but it’s one of her scariest! Is there any other author who has shone such a horrendously realistic light on kidnapping? Probably not, in my opinion! There’s a reason why R.L. Stine raves: “Is there a scarier author than Lois Duncan alive today? I don’t think so!” I have read seven other thrillers by Lois Duncan and I highly recommend every one of them to fans of mysteries and horror novels for teenagers, especially those originally published in the 70s, 80s, and 90s: I Know What You Did Last Summer, Summer of Fear, Gallows Hill, Locked in Time, The Twisted Window, Killing Mr. Griffin, and They Never Came Home. Like this book, they are all superb reads! This thriller deserves as many stars as it can be rewarded with by reviewers! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Awesome!!
One of the best books I’ve read in a while it was great!
