  • Eleven-year-old Jackie is enjoying mightily her father-daughter trip to Italy—until her father suffers a heart attack while driving back to their hotel one evening. As if this is not terrifying enough, when a pair of men pull over to help (she thinks), they instead kidnap her and take her to their house in the Calabrian countryside—but why? Once there, Jackie meets Claudia, a kind but mysteriously sad woman who seems to want her to be happy there. Napoli’s (Albert, p. 263, etc.) choice of a first-person, present-tense narration is particularly effective here; it isolates the reader in Jackie’s reality just as much as Jackie herself is isolated without recourse in a place where she cannot even understand the language. She emerges as a perfectly ordinary child who wants nothing more than to return home to her mother, but whose desperate need for any security at all within her bizarre circumstances causes her to cling to the only thing that is familiar now, her captors. Jackie’s situation is highly compelling, but the narrative motor that drives it is just as highly contrived: it turns out that Claudia has recently lost her own daughter, and the two men, her father and brother, have decided to kidnap Jackie as a replacement. While perhaps emotionally convincing within the terms of the story, it nevertheless strains credulity to the limit in every other way. Still, if readers are sufficiently grabbed by Jackie’s ingenuous voice and her remarkable predicament, they may be willing...

  • Three Days by Donna Jo Napoli is a very interesting and suspenseful story. The story takes place in Italy. Jackie and her father went there for her father's business trip. Jackie's mother insisted that Jackie should go because then she could see the world. One day Jackie and her Father are driving to a meeting when her father collapses at the wheel leave Jackie all alone. While Jackie's father is slowly dying at the wheel, Jackie tries to flag down help when she is kidnapped by two men in a strange car. Jackie is taken to their home and meets a nice woman named Claudia. She thinks the kidnapping is wrong ( Jackie thinks she does). Even though Jackie can't understand Italian, she'd do anything to get back to the U.S., back to her father, back to her home. I thought that this book was the kind of book where sometime you're on the edge of your seat and sometimes you are just fine. You never know what's going to happen next. I think Donna Jo Napoli is a very creative story writer. I could almost feel like I was Jackie trapped in her bad situation. I really liked Claudia because she was very nice to Jackie even though Jackie was the girl who was kidnapped. I felt bad for Jackie because her father was dying and I was very angry when no one would stop for her except for the kidnappers. I would tell you my favorite part but it would ruin the story so I won't. I highly, highly recommend this book to anyone who likes sitting on the edge of there seats and feeling that they...
