An amazing story of a bus driver and a few kids who are taken hostage. It's based on a true story, but these kids are fictitious. It's mostly about the oldest kid named sage who helps dig out the kids who are held in a quarry in a bunker that the two kidnappers put them in. The same girls mothers the one who gets the ransom note because she works for the city treasurer. She is to deliver the money and she does so because her father is a former cop and she knows how wrong cops can get it. She delivers the money and puts her father's memory Rolex in it because he has Alzheimer's and is able to track them. At the last minute. She involves the police who go and help get the kids out too. It's all very nail-biting because part of the bunker Falls in on most the kids after sage is able to get out. Really great book with a great ending with everyone being safe and the bad guys behind bars and the one bad guy who helped dig them out getting a lighter sentence.
