BOOKS: It's my life - Harrison

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@SATURN.PLANET.NET>]

Harrison, Michael._It's my life_,1998
     What a roller coaster ride!  I couldn't put this down -- almost
burnt my dinner.  Martin comes home to his single parent home from
school and is kidnapped.  We are taken on the adventure with him and
gradually realize that his mother has something to do with the
kidnapping -- trying to get money from the separated father.
Eventually  Martin breaks away and meets up with the kidnapper's (the
mothers lover) daughter and they both decide to get back at their
parents and try to foil their plan without going to the police.
There is a lot of action along with many plot twists.  Some of the
British language can be a little offsetting if one is not familiar
with it and some characters are not well developed but the action and
plot override  these weaknesses.  I feel this 132 page book
will be a "mover."
