This is a new series by Margaret Peterson Haddix and let me say it is another home run, she has knocked this one out of the park as well. Siblings Chess (oldest sibling and protector) , Finn (youngest sibling and best at being cute and silly) and Emma (middle sibling and best at math and codes) must figure out the clues and codes left behind when their mother disappears after leaving them in the care of Ms. Morales and her teenage daughter Natalie. But were those secrets ones they were to find just yet or when they are much older? Did the kidnapped kids from a few days before have anything to do with it, they did have the same names and ages as Chess, Emma and Finn? So many questions the children need answers to in order to find their mother, can they do it?
This book is awesome! So much action and suspense and twists and turns that you will think you are on a roller coaster at times so hold on to your lunch. This is definitely a book that will have you up past your bedtime just to see what happens next. The characters are great my favorites are a toss up between the very strong Natalie and the coming into herself Emma, they are not overbearingly so that boys won't like the story but I hope girls will see these girls strengths and take that away. Anyway you want to look at it, it is a great book and I think tweens as well as young adults and adults are going to love this series
