4.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best books I ever read, unless there's a sequel.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Kidnapping of Courtney Van Allen and What's-Her-Name (Hardcover)
The Kidnapping of Courtney Van Allen and What's Her Name tells the story of a girl named Jan who visits her aunt Harry in New York City. While in New York she also meets Coutrney Van Allen, the daughter of a popular TV actress and politician. They are both kidnapped one night by Courtney's mean-spirited nanny and her odd boyfriend who is also Coutrney's psychiatrist. They are taken to an abandoned island where they are joined with the doc's eccentric mother who was once a movie star from the 20s and 30s. Jane and Coutrney launch an escape that almost costs them their lives but gets them home. Besides being hilarious it tells a story of friendship, trust and loyalty. Recommend it to anyone over 11.

This review is from: Kidnappping of Courtney Van Allen and What's-Her-Name (Paperback)
This book is an unusual and fun account of the kidnapping of "what's her name" (Jan) and her famous friend, Courtney. The two girls meet in New York while Jan is visiting her eccentric Aunt Harry. Jan becomes the unwitting victim in a plan-gone-wrong to kidnap Courtney, daughter of a senator and celebrated actress. The girls are brought to Long Island where they try to piece together the missing puzzles of their kidnapping and plan an escape. Humour and warmth are sure to follow the reader the entire way with a plot rich in originality and realistic, likable characters! Eventhough this book is out-of-print, it is worth the trouble of getting a copy!
