It's Monday! What are you reading?

I got started on another 2020-2021 Bluebonnet Award Nominee this past week:

The Strangers, by Margaret Peterson Haddix, is a story told through the perspectives of each of the three main characters--Finn, Emma, and Chess Greystone--in alternating chapters.  We are presented with a mystery within the first few pages:  three siblings have been kidnapped in Arizona, and they just happen to have the same exact first and middle names AND birthdates of the Greystone children.  Almost as soon as the news is aired, Mrs. Greystone disappears, leaving her children in the care of a near-stranger and her aloof teenage daughter.

Finn, Emma, and Chess soon discover that the talents and passions their mother nurtured in them may be the very skills needed to figure out just what is going on.  Can their caretaker and her daughter be trusted?  Are they in danger of being kidnapped themselves?  Check out The Strangers to enjoy this family/mystery/supernatural story!

May the fourth be with you this Star Wars Day Monday, Stallion Readers!
