Wow. Good question. I'm the mom of both a 10 year old and a 7 year old. I'm having difficulty putting them into this situation because, well, it's THEM and when I think of it I get sad. Also, at this point, my boy is 7 and my girl is 10. Don't really know how it would play if the ages were swapped.
Buddy? He would quite easily charm/entertain the captors until he found a way out.
Princess? She's very observant and absorbs a LOT of information. I'm not sure if she would have the courage to take the action.
All of this to say - I do think that just a smart and observant kid could pull it off. I can see a captor suspecting Buddy because of his outgoing nature. I can see a captor not suspecting Princess because she's very obedient to (non-parental) authority.
