Can you imagine...

Can you imagine getting a letter that says, "YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING."? Margaret Peterson Haddix author of the series, Shadow Children has written a new series, The Missing. Just like the Shadow Children, it is suspenseful and exciting. Parents, it's a relief to have a novel that isn't fighting, battles and near death experiences. Kids, this is a can't put it down, read under the covers creepy mysteries and cliffhangers. I'm already asking, "When is the next one coming out!" Read, FOUND, to find out who is coming for them and what happened to the rest of the children. Hmmmm.
