It's no secret that Margaret Peterson Haddix is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.  I was thrilled to see her name on the reading Olympic's book list for both 2015 and 2016.  So today will be a special double-feature.

Found is the first book in Haddix's The Missing series.  Much like, Among the Hidden this book is full of intrigue, suspense and amazing characters.  By amazing I mean the characters are likable and well developed but never predictable. Read all about it here.

If you're not quite up for a series-no worries. Haddix also has written a wonderful stand alone book with all the intrigue and suspense of the series, just in a smaller package.  In Double Identity Bethany's world is turned upside down when her always loving but very overprotective parents suddenly drop her at a strangers house.  Now this stranger is Bethany's aunt, but since they've never meet in all 13 years of Bethany's life the familial relation doesn't mean much.

It quickly becomes apparent that Behany's life is not what it seems.  But what makes her different?  You can't seriously think I would tell you that?  Double Identity is truly a page turner. It's one of those books that once you start reading you don't want to put it down until you finish-you have to know what happens.  It's a perfect summer read.
