This was mostly fast-paced and exciting, but it had a few too many cliches in it (for me--young readers are usually less bothered by that kind of thing).
Spoiler
My favorite character was Ella/Grace who was great at pretending to be playing both sides. Otherwise, all of the characters felt pretty flat to me. Parker had potential, but I couldn't get over the convenience of Katrina meeting a genius hacker at the exact moment she needed that exact kind of help. This had the potential to be ORPHAN BLACK for kids, but wasn't nearly as creative or compelling.miszjeanie's review

Concealed is a engaging middle grade spy book with a clever female protagonist trying to piece together her identity. With a main character on the threshold of her teens and themes suitable for younger readers, this book is perfect for upper middle grade readers and those who are a bit younger. If you enjoy fast-paced stories with family secrets, action, friendship, and kids on the run, you’ll love this new middle grade book! Highly recommended for fans of Ponti’s [b:City Spies|51341533|City Spies (City Spies, #1)|James Ponti|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1581854381l/51341533._SY75_.jpg|71431282] and Burt’s [b:Greetings from Witness Protection!|33158544|Greetings from Witness Protection!|Jake Burt|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1495804534l/33158544._SX50_.jpg|47548241].

It was ok. Kinda turned more sci fi than an action story. Kids would probably like

As an adult I enjoyed this book a lot, but I do think that a lot of my middle school students struggled to grasp the ending.
