A review by caitlinxreads
The Strangers by Margaret Peterson Haddix

4.0

The Strangers by Margaret Peterson Haddix is a fun middle grade novel about alternate worlds, family, and solving mysteries. This start to a new series follows the Greystone siblings as they attempt to find their missing mother. The relationship between Chess, Emma, and Finn was incredible. I really enjoyed following their adventure which includes clues, danger, and codes.

Things I loved: sibling relationship, codes, mystery, descriptions, alternate world angle

Things I didn't love: not enough clues and puzzles, I wanted more worldbuilding in the alternate world

If the next book contains improved worldbuilding, I am sure that I will also really enjoy it.
