Chess, Emma, and Finn, who thus far have had an almost perfect life, are forced to reflect on their experiences growing up when compared with the less-fortunate children in the mirror world, and with kids from differing socio-economic and racial backgrounds. The fast-moving plot is grounded with the dichotomies that sprout with every interaction.
Allies might not be so friendly on the flip side, and even the truth may be outlawed.
For the mirror world doesn’t quite reflect their own in the same way things on the other side are much darker, and more evil. But Peterson weaves a delightfully twisty narrative, with many things not as they seem. Peterson’s follow-up novel, The Deceivers, picks up right at the end of the first, with the trio joining up with a new friend, Natalie, so they can dive back into this new mysterious world for another chance to reunite their families. When they discover that three children – with the exact same names – have been kidnapped, they’re quickly drawn into a vast mystery after their mom disappears on a work trip.
Because for the Greystone siblings, a rollercoaster ride that features doppelgangers, missing family members, and mirror worlds never stops.Īuthor Margaret Peterson Haddix’s Greystone Secrets series kicked off with The Strangers, which follows the titular Greystone kids, Chess, Emma, and Finn.
