I'm a writer myself, usually a title either inspires a story or a story inspires a title. I could make a few suggestions but you can usually come up with something if you base it on the protagonists name/personality or the central theme of the story and/or some kind of metaphor referencing the "point". Or once you get to the apex of the story and you find out what drives it to conclusion you can name it from that. Don't get too hung up on titles (I often do) until its at least through the first draft. I also don't draft so I'm pretty bad at taking my own advice. Maybe just let the editor name it ;) (kidding).
For fun:
"Boy" or something similar (simple, stupid, memorable, makes people want to read to figure out what its about but still maintains the theme in a vague sense).
Maybe name it after the name of the street the boy was kidnapped on, or the name of the boarding school. Simple titles are usually more memorable and attract more readership.
Keep me updated or maybe you could send me a rough draft? I'm always interested in others' works. Keep writing!

not to be rude, but if your planning on writing an entire book you should be able to come up with something yourself. If you are gonna call the book your own you should come up with the title by yourself
