What makes you you?
The Greystone kids thought they knew. Chess has always been the protector over his younger siblings, Emma loves math, and Finn does what Finn does best - acting silly and being adored. They’ve been a happy family, just the three of them and their mom.
But everything changes when reports of three kidnapped children reach the Greystone kids, and they’re shocked by the startling similarities between themselves and these complete strangers. The other kids share their same first and middle names. They’re the same ages. They even have identical birthdays. Who, exactly, are these strangers?
Before Chess, Emma, and Finn can question their mom about it, she takes off on a sudden work trip and leaves them in the care of Ms. Morales and her daughter, Natalie. But puzzling clues left behind lead to complex codes, hidden rooms, and a dangerous secret that will turn their world upside down.

Kept me curious.. Turned a little scary (spoilers)
I love childrens / young adult reads, and I felt like the author was very good at representing the different ages, genders, and personalities in this book. The storyline was super intriguing and it left me wanting to keep listening. Trying not to give much away, Towards the end, when the story started really setting the scene for the upcoming books, I felt like it was a bit scary, like you're in a bad dream. It's very reminiscent of the Baudelaires in the series of unfortunate events books, where they are on their own and the adults are out of reach to help in some way or another. (Side note, and spoiler, there is some very bad attitude by a teen towards their parent with no consequence, which created this really toxic atmosphere in the book I found. I do hope the book resolves that in the books to come because it promotes very anti-parent and anti-family retoric.) Personally, the thriller factor isn't what draws me to mystery books, and I feel like all the puzzles have been solved at this point of the story and the other books have been set up more for adventure and as a sci-fi / physiological thriller. I'm not sure I will continue with the series.
