A Stolen Life a memoir

This book is called A Stolen Life a memoir. The Author is Jaycee Dugard. The genre of this book is an autobiography. I chose this book because i wanted to see the story behind the kidnapping and see what had happened in those 18 years of being kidnapped. This book has 273 pages.

Jaycee Dugard was kidnapped at the age of 11 when she was walking to school. Phillip Garrido and Nancy Garrido had kidnapped her. Jaycee was taken far away and put in the "studio" (that is what the room she was put in was called). Jaycee was raped many times. Phillip made Jaycee go on "runs" so many times also. A few weeks after a "run" Jaycee discovered she was pregnant. A few years later Jaycee was going have her second baby by surprise. One year Phillip was arrested and him and Jaycee, her girls, and Nancy went to Phillips parole officer's office and there was where Jaycee said her name for the first time in 18 long years.

I would recommend this book to kids in grades 7-9. This is a great book but kids that are too young should not read this book. Also people who like to read autobiographies should read this book!
