What makes you you?

The Greystone kids thought they knew. Chess has always been the protector over his younger siblings, Emma loves math, and Finn does what Finn does best—acting silly and being adored. They’ve been a happy family, just the three of them and their mom.

But everything changes when reports of three kidnapped children reach the Greystone kids, and they’re shocked by the startling similarities between themselves and these complete strangers. The other kids share their same first and middle names. They’re the same ages. They even have identical birthdays. Who, exactly, are these strangers?

Before Chess, Emma, and Finn can question their mom about it, she takes off on a sudden work trip and leaves them in the care of Ms. Morales and her daughter, Natalie. But puzzling clues left behind lead to complex codes, hidden rooms, and a dangerous secret that will turn their world upside down.

Praise for The Strangers:

""A secret-stacked, thrilling series opener about perception, personal memories, and the idiosyncrasies that form individual identities."" (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

Good book bad ending

It had a vary bad ending. So that is not good it makes the book ok

OMG I LOVE IT

I didnt really think i would like this book but I took a chance and it was Awesome!!! This book gets you wrapped up immediately and you just can't stop listening. I loved all the characters especially Finn.. Everyone loves Finn! Cant wait for the next book.

Great Family Listen

My 9 and 12 year old were hooked. We listen together and really enjoyed cliffhanger when I would turn it off right after something big happened and they would just be left to wonder. We are ready for the next one.

great middle grade mystery

very long Exposition. satisfying ending but there is obviously a follow up. would recommend for readers ages 7- 13

great performance!

my family and I listened to this book on a long road trip. at first I thought the ladies voice was annoying but it quickly grew on me. The story is interesting and kept my 5,8,10,12 year olds entertained.
