Her BFF Faith is making new friends and is involved in new things, like the school play. Abby's just starting her freshman year of high school. Sarah weaves a striking and believable teenage world. I know now that she's a victim of one of the worst cons on earth. And I no longer think a girl who gets tangled with an Internet predator is stupid. I didn't agree with them, but I understood them. By the end of the book, I understood why Abby made the decisions she did. Her extensive research led to WANT TO GO PRIVATE?, an in-depth and horrifyingly realistic look into the life of a 14-year-old girl named Abby. Through conversations with the police and FBI, she found out it wasn't stupidity at all. That news story compelled Sarah to find out as well. A smart girl would never do something like that. All I could come up with was that she must have been stupid. I racked my brain and played out dozens of different scenarios in my mind, but I still couldn't understand why a teen girl would agree to meet a stranger she met online. Sarah said she wondered what would have to happen for a teenager to get to that point - the point of climbing into a car with a complete stranger and running away with him. She had *wanted* to go with the guy, claiming she was in love with him. Only, the thing is, the teen girl didn't see it as a rescue. She spoke about a recent news story where the police rescued a teen girl from an Internet predator before they crossed the Canadian border.
