Description
15-year-old Jaden Barker was just an average teen-quiet, kind of awkward, and definitely not a fan of pop music. But everything changes when he's mysteriously abducted outside a record store... by none other than Taylor Swift. Held captive in a glittering mansion with more cats than he can count, Jaden discovers he's been chosen (or cursed) to serve as Taylor's personal hugger-yes, hugger-providing emotional support during her songwriting slumps, media scandals, and long brunches with celebrities he's never even heard of. Trapped in a world of fame, secrets, and far too many chai lattes, Jaden must find a way to escape-or possibly embrace (literally and figuratively) his strange new life. But as he learns more about the pop icon's true motives, he starts to wonder: Is he really a prisoner... or part of something much weirder? A bizarre comedy filled with heart, hugs, and hostage situations, The Kidnapping of Jaden Barker is a satirical ride through celebrity culture that you'll never forget.
