New York Times bestselling author Margaret Peterson Haddix, the
master of cliffhangers, delivers a pulse-pounding mystery perfect for
fans of Jacqueline West and Kat Yeh, full of secrets, surprises, and the
power of family.
One minute they're there: laughing and having fun at the house next
door. The next minute, the teens are gone. Like magic. Marin can't
believe her eyes. Who are they? Can anyone else see them? What makes
them so happy?
Marin is lonely in this new town of hers and eager to figure out more.
Then she meets Charley, who reveals that he knows about them, too.
He calls them the "Remarkables." Charley warns her to stay away from the
Remarkables--and him. Charley and Marin both have painful secrets
they're holding on to, but could solving the mystery of the Remarkables
help them both?
In addition to building an intriguing world filled with mystery, Haddix
also grounds the story with real issues that many children face.
Characters deal with the complexities of bullying, the guilt children
experience when parents have addiction issues, and the uplifting power
found in strong families of all shapes and sizes.
