A feathered friend's abduction, a family's daring rescue.
When Gina's beloved parrot Cluck-Cluck is snatched from their quiet North Ogden garden, a peaceful evening explodes into a desperate, ticking-clock rescue. Mother and son — backed by Poppy, a spirited search-and-rescue dog — must outsmart a dangerous neighborhood enemy before their feathered friend is lost forever.
THE STORY
An Urgent, Heartfelt
Pet-Rescue Adventure
In the picturesque town of North Ogden, Utah, Gina's lively Golden Nape parrot Cluck-Cluck vanishes into the night, and ten-year-old Tommy and his mother are thrust into a race against time. Their search leads them to Josh Dylan, a shadow from their past with a dangerous grudge — and to Poppy, a rescue dog whose nose, instincts, and heart may be the key to bringing their family back together.
Filled with laugh-out-loud parrot antics, pulse-pounding suspense, and tender family moments, Kidnapped blends humor and high stakes in short, fast-moving chapters ideal for middle-grade readers and read-aloud families. With a sassy, talkative bird protagonist and a credible, heroic search-and-rescue dog, this is the perfect pick for reluctant readers, librarians, teachers, and anyone who loves animal-led mysteries with real heart.
Can courage, teamwork, and a fearless dog beat a clever criminal and bring Cluck-Cluck home?
