Madison Scott

About

Madison has been writing stories for a long, long time. Not really that long in reality, but for the greater part of her life she has been scribbling something on a piece of paper. Homeschooled from kindergarten through her graduation from highschool, Madison devoured every English-related book her home library acquired. To be entirely accurate, she devoured nearly every book.
 From the time Madison wrote and finished her first 'book', "A Dreaded Day" in 2001, she dreamed of being a published author one day. In late 2007, she found that dream to be coming true with the publication of her first novel, "Reba", the fictional story of a girl that has no friends, except for her family. Since then, Madison has been writing frantically and has almost completed the sequel, "Chester-Shaw", which she plans to submit for publication by mid-2009.

Description

<p>When Jessica Bryant pesters her wealthy parents to allow her to have a dog as a pet, the answer is a resounding &quot;No&quot;; but they soon come to regret their decision when thier home is broken into one evening whilst they are out and their daughter kidnapped and held for ransom. The kidnappers, in the form of four seedy and incompetent characters wearing Disneyland-type masks, take her hostage and keep her incarcerated in a place from which there appears to be no escape. However, they reckon without the resourcefulness of our heroine, and the courage of a wonderful stray dog who comes to her aid and whom she names 'Murdo'. And so begins an exciting and humurous accounting of the couples' adventures together as they consistently foil and outwit the abductors whilst on the run together.<br /> This is a lovely story of the friendship between a girl and a dog, bringing out themes of responsibility, camaraderie, redemption, salvation and self-sacrifice. It includes some wonderful dialogue sequences as Jessica teaches her new four-legged friend how to communicate with her, with additional delightful conversations between the animals when a rabbit and a sparrow join forces with them in an effort to outwit the kidnappers and restore Jessica safely back to her parents' home. </p>
