The Strangers by Margaret Peterson Haddix

3.0

Siblings Chess, Emma, and Finn Greystone come home from school one day to find their mom out of sorts. She is watching a news story about three kids in Arizona who were kidnapped. What's odd is the three kids have the same names and are the same ages as the Greystone children. That night, Chess follows mom to her workroom and overhears her phone conversation with someone named Joe. Mrs Greystone tells Joe they are responsible for those children. The next morning, Mrs Greystone has a sudden business trip with no end date, and she makes arrangements for the kids to stay with an acquaintance. The story continues to get weird until the situation is explained and it ends on a cliffhanger.

For middle grade children who are "science" minded.
