Five stars is just not enough for this book. This book had me hooked from page 1 until the end. Can‘t wait to read more from this author.

Based on true events, Such Quiet Girls by Noelle W. Ihli grabbed me at the beginning. Full of suspense, I wanted to listen as fast as I could to find out what happened to the kids on the bus. The only problem I had with the book is that I wish Ili would have gone just a little further to let us know what happened to the teacher and mom.

•This isn‘t the first book I‘ve read about the Chowchilla bus kidnapping, but it is, by far, the better of the two. The other one is 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘝𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘊𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘧 3𝘉. Both are only loosely based on that incident, and each went in fairly different directions. You can read both and get a distinct story.
•All four narrators did a phenomenal job with the narration. The full cast of narrators put this version over the top for me.
This was a good book, just not a great book. This book kept me interested enough to keep going, and you feel all the feels. I didn't really connect with any of the characters, I felt like they lacked depth. This book also doesn't have many twists or turns. It mainly just relies on the kids' fear for the thriller/ horror aspect. I wish there would have been more twists in the story to separate it from all the other kidnapping books. 4/5
