Margaret Peterson Haddox's Greystone Secrets 1: The Strangers
This is a solid start to a new middle-grade series, wherein three children live normal lives with their normal mom, until they hear a news story about three other children who have been kidnapped—children with their same names and birthdays. What is the connection between them? And why is their mom suddenly going on a mysterious business trip? This went in a direction I didn’t expect and it was great! Good characters and narrative voices, a quick-moving plot, etc. The end was a bit silly/even more unrealistic than anything else, but appropriate enough for a kids' book. I will definitely be looking forward to volume two. A-.
