There can be many themes that go along with this book, but, the one theme that made most sense to me is to believe and be confident in yourself. Critics often argue, that the book Stolen Children is just a book about kids that get stolen and then returned back to their families.

Another example, showing the theme is believing and being confident in one’s self is on page 156, the book states, “Kendra began pounding the horn over and over, as Amy waved her arms over her head, she ran back and forth besides the car, hoping the movement would attract attention to the helicopter.” Meaning, Amy was doing everything she could think of to get help or even attention so she could be found, showing that Amy and Kendra were both confident and believe in themselves to do everything in there power to try to be found.

All in all, it is clear to see that the book Stolen Children is captivating is because it contains a meaningful
