The second book in the Greystone Secrets series from the master of
plot twists, Margaret Peterson Haddix--perfect for fans of A Wrinkle in
Time and The City of Ember!
Until their mother vanished, the Greystone kids--Chess, Emma, and
Finn--knew nothing about the other world.
Everything is different there. It's a mirror image, except things are
wrong. Evil. Their mother tried to fix it, but she and an ally got
trapped there along with Ms. Morales, their friend Natalie's mom.
Now the four kids--brave Chess, smart Emma, kind Finn, and savvy
Natalie--are determined to rescue everyone.
To do so, they have to go back: into the other world, where even telling
the truth can be illegal.
But in such a terrifying place, Chess doubts he can ever be brave
enough. Despite all her brains, Emma can't seem to break the code. With
everything spiraling out of control, Finn has to pretend he's okay.
And for Natalie, the lies of the other world include some she wishes
were actually true. What if she's gotten so used to lying she no longer
knows what to believe?
The second book in the Greystone Secrets series, The Deceivers, by
bestselling author Margaret Peterson Haddix, continues the twisty and
suspenseful story of the Greystone kids and examines the power of the
truth--or a lie--to alter lives, society, and even an entire reality.
