    For almost thirteen-year-old Bethany, life has suddenly and inexplicably taken a strange turn. For a girl who has never
    spent a night away from her parents, she's suddenly hustled into the car by her sad-looking father, subjected to
    listening to her sobbing mother, and unceremoniously dropped off in the middle of the night in a town she's never
    heard of, at the home of a woman claiming to be her Aunt Myrlie. Her parents are a lot older than her friend's parents,
    and Bethany is sure that her parent's siblings are all dead.

    So who is this woman claiming to be her Aunt, and why has she never heard of her before? Why won't her mother
    stop crying? Why does her dad seem so eager to get away from the house in Sanderfield? And who the heck is
    Elizabeth, the name she overheard her father and Myrlie discussing?

    All these questions and more are only the tip of the iceberg in Margaret Peterson Haddix's newest novel, a wonderful
    young adult thriller that I thoroughly enjoyed. The twists and turns are unpredictable and unexpected--the conclusion
    one I never saw coming.

    Overall, a great suspenseful read for teens and adults alike!
