(More customer reviews)Terror in Black and White
If you like to sit on the edge of your seat and hold your breath, Johnny's Jacket is the book to read. The author doesn't waste any time. From the first pages, terror starts for twelve year old Jennifer, who escapes from big ruthless dirt bikers whose intentions are to kidnap her. She becomes lost in the forest with her horse and dog, being hunted not only by the armed bikers, but by the wild inhabitants of the forest. From the first day she is fighting for survival in the dark and unfriendly forest. It wasn't until chapter ten that I was able to take a breath when the author pauses to inform us of the family background. It was a short pause as the author takes you back to the exciting action that had my heart pounding again. Part of the suspense is the question of why anyone wants to kidnap Jennifer and kill her parents. What does someone have against the family? The author takes you down a path that you are sure is the answer only to find that it is a dead end.
The author weaves such an exciting and frightful story with details that makes you feel that you are there with Jennifer. You feel every painful step, with fear of every danger the forest has for our young victum. You forget that it is fiction and are honestly concerned for Jennifer's life. I highly recommend this novel for young and old.
