Reviews

* "In a tantalizing opener to a new series, Haddix taps into a common childhood fantasy--that you are really the offspring of royalty or famous people, and were somehow adopted by an ordinary family--and one-ups it by adding in time travel...Readers will be hard-pressed to wait for the next installment."--"Publishers Weekly", starred review

"As in her Among the Hidden series, Haddix once again demonstrates her talent for penning page-turnes kids will like."--"Booklist"

"Fans of Haddix's Shadow Children books will want to jump on this time-travel adventure...The author grabs the readers' attention from the first scene...intriguing enough...to keep kids reading what promises to be an exciting trip through history."--"Kirkus Reviews"

"Haddix admirably balances the exposition necessary to shape the first novel of a series while still providing enough life-threatening situations, governmental intrigue, and futuristic weaponry to make this an action-packed stand-alone novel. Readers will surely return for future installments...Science fiction and adventure fans will find much to enjoy in this flashy, suspensful volume."--"The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"

"Haddix's latest science fiction series starts off with a bang in this nail-biter...This book's exciting premise and cliff-hanger ending will leave readers on the edge of their seats and begging for more."--"School Library Journal"

Gr 4-8-A mysterious airplane appears out of nowhere. No pilots or attendants are on board, but every seat is occupied-by a baby. The babies are taken off the plane and then it vanishes. Thirteen years later in Ohio, Jonah and his friend Chip receive a threatening letter: "You are one of the missing." A second letter follows: "Beware! They're coming back to get you." Both boys know that they were adopted, and they resolve to find out who they really are, resulting in some shocking discoveries. Fans of the author's The Shadow Children series will be enthralled by this first title (S & S, 2008) in a new series by Margaret Peterson Haddix. Chris Sorensen's outstanding narration captures the teens' urgency and confusion. This stellar title will leave students begging for the second installment.-Lisa Hubler, Memorial Junior High School, South Euclid, OH Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information.
