What do you get when you combine a teenage girl, two drug dealers, and an unplanned kidnapping? The answer and a great story are all part of Last Seen on Hopper's Lane by Janet Allais Stegeman. Kerry Blake is a teenager attending high school who loves to ride her bike to the old abandoned house on Hopper's Lane. When she finally gathers the courage to explore the gloomy mansion she stumbles upon an illegal drug drop-off. This is Carl's second drug deal, and his first with Ax, a guy with a bad reputation who got his name from the gash across his face, left there by a heavy blade. Before they leave the mansion, Benny, an old enemy of Ax's, shows up. When Kerry is forced into the back of the dealers' van with Benny breathing down her neck she doesn't think it can get any worse, but as she soon find's out, it does. This story is set in Blanton, Georgia, a small town with a "run-down" side. Kerry and her mother live in this part of town, a part containing crumbling mansions. END
