blue eyes, icy blue.” “I thought they were safe somehow. All the good guys have baby blues. The

dark eyes are for the villains … the Grim Reaper, the Joker, zombies. All dark.” I would rate Stolen

by Lucy Christopher an 9 out of 10! Lucy Christopher used a great amount of descriptive language

and it really brought together the whole book. This book had many great things and many bad
