    About this audiobook

    New York Times bestselling author Margaret Peterson Haddix, the master of cliffhangers, delivers a pulse-pounding mystery perfect for fans of Jacqueline West and Kat Yeh, full of secrets, surprises, and the power of family.

    One minute they’re there: laughing and having fun at the house next door. The next minute, the teens are gone. Like magic. Marin can’t believe her eyes. Who are they? Can anyone else see them? What makes them so happy?

    Marin is lonely in this new town of hers and eager to figure out more. Then she meets Charley, who reveals that he knows about them, too.

    He calls them the “Remarkables.” Charley warns her to stay away from the Remarkables—and him. Charley and Marin both have painful secrets they’re holding on to, but could solving the mystery of the Remarkables help them both?

    In addition to building an intriguing world filled with mystery, Haddix also grounds the story with real issues that many children face. Characters deal with the complexities of bullying, the guilt children experience when parents have addiction issues, and the uplifting power found in strong families of all shapes and sizes.

    Margaret Peterson Haddix

    Margaret Peterson Haddix grew up on a farm in Ohio. As a kid, she knew two girls who had the exact same first, middle, and last names and shared the same birthday—only one year apart—and she always thought that was bizarre. As an adult, Haddix worked as a newspaper reporter and copy editor in Indiana before her first book, Running Out of Time, was published. She has since written more than forty books for kids and teens, including the Greystone Secrets series, the Shadow Children series, the Missing series, the Children of Exile series, and lots of stand-alones. Haddix and her husband, Doug, now live in Columbus, Ohio, where they raised their two kids. You can learn more about her at haddixbooks.com.

      I liked it but it needs more enthusiasm!! But other than that I loved it
    • 5/5
      I absolutely loved this. It was endearing and the ending was hopeful and the characters were well thought out and described. I needed an easy listen with a happy ending and this fit the bill!
    • 4/5
      This book surprised me -- I thought it was going to be a lot darker than it was, and I really liked the twist of how it turns out. There's a lot in here: bullying, losing friends, moving, parents worried about jobs, worrying about absent parents, new baby sibling, parental grief and how they deal with it -- and a summertime mystery of teleporting/timetraveling strangers. It feels, in short, like a realistic depiction of the high emotion of summer before middle school in a new place. I really love that the hopeful message comes through. It's a great read.

      When 11 year old Marin moves to Pennsylvania, she worries if she'll make friends- real friends, as her old friends had turned against her. When she wanders through the woods near her new home, she spies a group of teenagers who seem to be such good friends, and then they vanish like magic right before her eyes! She also meets Charley, a boy about her own age that keeps to himself and seems troubled. They decide the teenagers are from the past, one of which is Charley's dad, and the they are witnessing a time right before a tragedy takes place that has long reaching implications for Charley's parents. Can Marin and Charley go back and change the past? This 295 page book deals a lot with families and friendships and has a surprise or two in store. Good for grades 4-6.
