Plot Summary of Ransom
"This Book is the sequel of The Secret. Gillian has to find a lost box that is the clue to a murder, to save the life of her uncle. She saves the life of a little boy and his uncle, Brodick Buchanan, vows to help her in her quest. This Book is very good since it continues the story from The Secret giving a closing to one of my favorite stories."
Raquel C Vega, Resident Scholar
