A review by breakfastgrey
The Strangers by Margaret Peterson Haddix

2.0

This book was ultra-disappointing. The hook is amazing-- three kids discover that three children with the same names and birthdays who do not look like them have been kidnapped-- and I've enjoyed other books by Haddix in the past. Unfortunately, The Strangers features tropes instead of characters, incredibly convenient plot progression, and absolutely pedestrian writing. I really wanted to like this so much more than I did.
