This book. Omg. Everyone, please, if you have the book or if you go to the library, open this book and read the half page prologue. IT WILL SUCK YOU IN!
Let me tell you, it gets creepy. The story behind it all (the mystery part, I suppose) is crazy. I love it. But, reading the last bits at 1 AM alone in my bed with all these creepy sounds that I'm sure I was just making up had me like
I never want to be that paranoid again. Ever.

Overall, this was a decent mystery for tween readers. The twist didn't reveal itself too early, and the story makes sense. However, I find it a bit difficult to reconcile the protaganist's limited access to technology in a contemporary setting, and her eventual use of the internet to source information seemed a bit contrived. Fans of Caroline B. Cooney or Norah McClintock are the right audience for this book.
Lydia are two sisters facing a fairly boring summer, until a family with a teenaged son and daughter of about the same ages moves in across the street. The Swickers’ mom is kind of weird – she rarely lets the teens (Megan and Sam) socialize with others, and almost never lets anyone come over. Lydia manages to uncover some evidence that lead to a discovery that rocks everyone’s world.
WOW, that was SOOOOO good!!!!! I could NOT put this book down! This was exactly what I needed tonight, a killer book that was completely unexpected. Lisa, keep writing, PLEASE! You knocked it out of the park.
A pretty good mystery for middle grade and tween readers. Pretty predictable, but it holds your interest for the entire book and overall has a pretty good story.
Great fast paced read. This will appeal to female mystery readers. The author did a great job with her teen characters.
