A high-stakes adventure full of teamwork with a multifaceted mystery and complex themes." -- Kirkus Reviews "Haddix returns with another mystery/adventure/science-fiction hybrid filled with twists, turns, and political undertones in the nefarious intentions of the alternate world. This first installment ends expectedly with a cliffhanger that is sure to leave readers wanting more." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Bestselling Haddix launches a new middle-grade series that blends adventure and sf elements into an engrossing mystery. The kidnapping alone could have made a compelling mystery, but Haddix throws in secret rooms, alternate realities, and a cliff-hanger ending to raise the stakes and delight fans new and old." -- Booklist "Masterfully plotted and filled with so many jaw-dropping twists and turns, you'll be racing toward the end--and begging for the next book.
