Bookroo's summary

Amy's babysitting gig spirals into a nightmare when she and young Kendra are kidnapped. Trapped in a remote cabin, Amy must outsmart their captors by embedding clues in ransom DVDs. With only a week before the kidnappers' deadly deadline, can Amy's cleverness save them both? The clock is ticking, and every second counts in this high-stakes game of survival.

From the publisher

When Amy agreed to baby-sit Kendra Edgerton, she had no idea she was stepping into a kidnapping plot. Two men force the girls out of the house and into a cabin in the woods, where they create DVDs to send to the families, in hopes of a large ransom from Kendra’s wealthy parents. Using her wits and imagination, Amy stealthily sends clues to the police through the DVDs, but time is working against her: She has one week until her captors decide to return Kendra and get rid of Amy.
