I enjoyed the first book in the series by boyfriend has bought me the other books in the series and will hopefully be reading them soon.
It is a great mystery read, especially for the younger audiences as well.
This book is good for children 8 and above
This book was a great read and I could not put it down
I was on the edge of my seat while I was reading this book. It was that good.

This novel follows three siblings, Finn, Emma & Chess who live with their mother. One day, they learn about three kids who are kidnapped in Arizona, with the same name as them & the same birthdates. Shortly after, their mother goes missing also.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a sucker for a good middle grade book, unfortunately, this one just fell flat.

I understand that this is written for children who might need a little more details & repetition to understand the entirety of this story but it was just to slooooow. I truly felt interested about halfway through the book but that didn’t last long. There were too many details & too many parts that could have been left out. I probably won’t be continuing this series.

I had high hopes for this cute middle grade, and while the story was interesting, it just wasn’t for me.

The story was just too slow-going, and the characters are cardboard and difficult to differentiate between. I'd lose track of who was talking in each chapter because the children all sounded roughly the same.

In the end, the mystery just isn't enough for me to continue, so I'm moving on.
