Another book could be 'The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara' by David I. Kertzer. Although it's not exactly about a girl, it's a true story of a young boy being kidnapped under religious pretexts in the 19th century. It shows the power dynamics and the inhumane actions that can occur during such events and can be related to the broader topic of kidnappings.
One such book is 'Room' by Emma Donoghue. It tells the story of a young woman who was kidnapped and held captive in a small room, and the life she builds there with her young son who was born as a result of her captor's abuse. It's a harrowing but ultimately hopeful story.
One such book is 'A Stolen Life' by Jaycee Dugard. It's her own account of being kidnapped at a young age and held captive for many years.

Survival is a major theme. The girl has to find ways to endure the physical and mental hardships of captivity. For example, in Jaycee Dugard's story, she had to cope with isolation and abuse. Another theme is hope. Despite the dire situation, there's always a glimmer of hope that keeps the victim going. Also, family is important. The longing for family and the connection to them even during captivity is often explored.
It might be. True stories often get turned into books to raise awareness or share someone's harrowing experience. But one would need to research the background and author's claims to confirm its authenticity.
The book 'True Grit' by Charles Portis has elements that could be related. The main character, Mattie Ross, is a young girl who goes on a journey in the Old West. While not a traditional kidnapping story, she is in a dangerous situation and has to deal with some tough characters, much like what could be expected in a story about a kidnapped girl in the west. It's a classic with a strong female protagonist.
There's the story of Jaycee Dugard. She was kidnapped in 1991 at the age of 11. Her kidnapper, Phillip Garrido, held her captive in his backyard for 18 years. During that time, Jaycee had two daughters by Garrido. She was finally discovered when Garrido visited a university campus with his 'family' and some odd behavior led to an investigation. Jaycee's story is a harrowing account of long - term captivity and abuse.
I'm not sure if there is a book specifically titled with exactly those words, but there are many memoirs out there that might fit the bill. Some true - story books about people who have overcome physical challenges often touch on themes related to a girl with a burned face. You could search in the genre of biographies or memoirs in your local library or online bookstore.
There is also 'The Good Women of China: Hidden Voices' by Xinran. This book shares the real - life stories of various Chinese women. It gives insights into their joys, sorrows, dreams, and the challenges they face in different aspects of life in China.
It could be that the kidnapping was part of some elaborate prank or a misunderstanding. Maybe the girl thought it was a fun adventure and didn't realize the seriousness at first.
