The Field

Overview


When fourteen-year-old Daniel Robinson is abducted during a game of hide-and-seek, his focus switches from enjoying his summer vacation to simply staying alive. He must find the courage and strength to escape his captors and get home, no matter what it takes. Will he survive? Or is this a nightmare that's too real to escape? As Daniel finds himself at the mercy of his captors, his best friend Kyle sets out to bring him back to safety. With nothing but teenage instincts to guide him, Kyle's quest could result in a happy ending—or in tragedy.

Nancy
The Field The Field was very suspenseful. I wanted to keep reading to find out how Daniel and his friend was going to escape. Some parts in the beginning were funny. The majority of the book made me cry. It was a very intense book. I especially liked the book because I know Ian personally. I am familiar with all the places he mentions in the book. I would highly recommend "The Field" to teenage boys. Read more
