Can you imagine having a diamond necklace in your desk when you did not put it in there? “The Kidnappers” by Willo Davis Robets and “Milo and Jazz" by Lewis B Montgomery were both good books to read. The characters in "Milo and Jazz” were better than the characters in “The Kidnappers”. The characters were more honest, relatable, and curious.

In the book, Milo could always be trusted because he turned that necklace into the police instead of stealing the necklace.

The reasoning for that sentence is Milo being more childish trying to find who put that necklace in his desk. In the “Kidnappers” Joey was shown being curious when he wanted to know who kidnapped Willie. The reasoning is when Willie was always being mean to Joey but that did not stop him from letting him get kidnapped. These reasons show you that the characters in Milo and Jazz” were more

All in all, I significantly enjoyed this book, Lockdown, by Gordon Smith. This book is by far the most thrilling and horrific book I have ever read. I enjoyed this book so greatly, because of how well Gordon Smith explained certain aspects of his writing with great emotion and detail.
