Recenzje

"Haddix's premise and plotline are strong on raw appeal, so fans of the original story who are primed to cheer for Zola will be. . . pleased." - Kirkus Reviews

PRAISE FOR BOOK 1, RUNNING OUT OF TIME: "The action moves swiftly, with plenty of suspense, and readers will be eager to discover how Jessie overcomes the obstacles that stand in her way... This book will appeal to fans of time-travel or historical novels as well as those who prefer realistic contemporary fiction, all of whom will look forward to more stories from this intriguing new author." - School Library Journal (starred review)

PRAISE FOR REMARKABLES: "Haddix realistically portrays Charlie's distress at his parents' addiction and shows how Charlie's identification with his father leaves him nearly incapable of imagining happiness for himself. Ultimately, Marin discovers that her and Charlie's role might not be in changing the past but rerouting the future. VERDICT Gripping, heartfelt, thoughtful and fun, Remarkables will delight readers of both tween realism and time-travel fantasy." - School Library Journal (starred review)

"As ever, Haddix plots her satisfying mystery with careful touch points and reveals. But it is her smart exploration of the past's legacy and sensitively painted family dynamics-from Marin's exhausted but joyful parents to Charley's difficult family story-that make this story remarkable." - Publishers Weekly

"Blending issues that matter to young adolescents with intrigue and a surprise ending, Haddix proves why she's a master of middle-grade fiction." - Kirkus Reviews

PRAISE FOR GREYSTONE SECRETS #1: THE STRANGERS: "A satisfying third-person narrative that portrays the complex anxieties and internal lives of close, caring family members grappling with a single set of extraordinary circumstances-separately and together. A secret-stacked, thrilling series opener about perception, personal memories, and the idiosyncrasies that form individual identities." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Maintains suspense from the beginning to the cliffhanger ending. A high-stakes adventure full of teamwork with a multifaceted mystery and complex themes." - Kirkus Reviews

"Haddix returns with another mystery/adventure/science-fiction hybrid filled with twists, turns, and political undertones in the nefarious intentions of the alternate world. This first installment ends expectedly with a cliffhanger that is sure to leave readers wanting more." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

O autorze

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.
