Edgar Award Finalist: When the strange new bus driver passes the last stop, the five teens on board know theyll be lucky to make it home alive. 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 daybut 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 arent 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 authors personal collection.

My first thought for today‘s #Bus prompt was the tagged book (reprinted under Five Were Missing). Five teens are kidnapped from their school bus. I read & reread all of Lois Duncan‘s books & this one was a favorite. Here‘s some of the covers that featured a bus. 🚌

One Thursday I found this book in the school library and I fell in love. The size of he book, cover, and font. I could take it with me anywhere. Aesthetics weren‘t the only thing I liked about this book. The story took my by heart. Connecting to each of the characters, the author really did a great job in writing the book. Like watching my favourite Netflix series, this had me on my toes. Lots of shocking chapters, emotional ones too. #favourite

Finished this short gem! Great little cozy thriller! Lois Duncan has a great way of leaving you at the edge of your seat with a great use of simple metaphors. Pages 99-100 were definitely my favorite moment! Only complaints:
The dialogue can sometimes be way too corny and the ending could‘ve been WAY better Other than that I really enjoyed this book!
4 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
other Duncan books I should read?

Hhhjjjnsjehdhwjd When I was in high school I stumbled on one of Lois Duncan‘s books & after that 1 book, I binge-read so many of her novels.📚 I loved Stranger with my Face, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Down a Dark Hall & The Third Eye. That reminds me, I need to add a couple of her books to my “to-read” stack 🐈‍⬛ 3y
