Synopsis

Chip and Jonah are normal 13-year old boys. They play basketball and do their homework together and they are both adopted. When they both receive mysterious letters about their past, they become involved in a cover-up so big that the FBI is involved. Chip and Jonah and Jonah’s sister Katherine are in a race to solve the mystery before they lose everything they have ever known.

This is the first book in a new series by Margaret Peterson Haddix, author of the Shadow Children series.

My 11-year old is a big fan of the Shadow Children series and so she was very excited about this new book coming out. We both enjoyed it and it is always fun to talk with your child about a book you have both read. It’s a page turner.
