Beyond the Shadow Children

Margaret Peterson Haddix is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. Because of the science fiction theme of Among the Hidden, I was fascinated by her Shadow Children series which she concluded in the seventh book Among the Free. From that book I was lead to Double Identity and The House on the Gulf, both great suspense books. Now the IMC has another her books added to the collection - Escape from Memory. In this suspense-filled story, Kira and her friends experiment with hypnosis at a sleepover. When hypnotized, Kira remembers that she spoke another language, that she was born in another country, that her eccentric mother has been telling her lies about how they came to live in small-town Ohio. As Kira tries to recover more of her memory of who she is and where she is really from, she learns many things that will surprise you. A fascinating adventure story with twists and cliffhangers, Escape from Memory will keep reading reading from beginning to end.
