HereForever (auroraborealisgreen) | 3 comments Children’s sci-fi novel, read in either 2013 or 2014. The main character (female) has a brother named Frank. Frank gets kidnapped and taken to another planet. The main character teleports to that planet and finds Frank who’s being kept in a cage, like an animal at a zoo.

I remember a vivid description of when the main character first discovers that her brother is being kept in a cage: His hair has grown out, he looks dishevelled, I think he's walking around on all fours? I don't think he acknowledges the main character when she sees him.

There is possibly a maze outside of the main character’s house on her planet. Frank may have been walking through this maze when he got kidnapped.

(Spoiler) The main character uses lighting or electricity of some kind to get back to her planet. I think she uses the help of a scientist.

A long shot - Space Trap by Monica Hughes?

One Amazon reviewer says: "A girl gets trapped on an strange world that kidnaps other alien races for Zoo's. Her brother and sister have been kidnapped as well, ans she's the only one that can get them off the planet and home again. "

I was able to find a PDF of it online, and it's definitely the correct book! Thank you so much! :)
