Oh, CURSE YOU, MARGARET PETERSON HADDIX! As with the Shadow Children books, she's giving us another edge of your seat, what the heck will happen next series, and I'm hooked.

I still like Haddix as much as I did when I was a kid.
For some reason, I kept thinking of the TV show, LOST, when I was reading this! Found will be an easy sell to any kid! It has suspense, mystery and sci-fi elements to entice any reader. It is the first in a series.
