Greystone Secrets 2: The Deceivers
Written by Margaret Peterson Haddix
Publisher’s Synopsis: Until their mother vanished, the Greystone kids—Chess, Emma, and Finn—knew nothing about the other world.
Everything is different there. It’s a mirror image, except things are wrong. Evil. Their mother tried to fix it, but she and an ally got trapped there along with Ms. Morales, their friend Natalie’s mom.
Now the four kids—brave Chess, smart Emma, kind Finn, and savvy Natalie—are determined to rescue everyone.
To do so, they have to go back: into the other world, where even telling the truth can be illegal.
But in such a terrifying place, Chess doubts he can ever be brave enough. Despite all her brains, Emma can’t seem to break the code. With everything spiraling out of control, Finn has to pretend he’s okay.
And for Natalie, the lies of the other world include some she wishes were actually true. What if she’s gotten so used to lying she no longer knows what to believe?
The second book in the Greystone Secrets series, The Deceivers, by bestselling author Margaret Peterson Haddix, continues the twisty and suspenseful story of the Greystone kids and examines the power of the truth—or a lie—to alter lives, society, and even an entire reality.

About the Author
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 www.haddixbooks.com.

Thank you Bianca for introducing us to a new Author, for me at least. Sounds like an entertaining & suspenseful read. Be safe.
Books transport our children to places they would never know. I consider reading to be a mini vacation.
The pinterest link has works but can’t post it. I think it’s because there’s no picture. It says something is wrong .
Enjoy books showing how kids can work together to solve problems – thanks for the chance to win a copy. I always share with my community library where I serve on the board. We don’t have a huge book buying budget so I enjoy being able to donate new offerings.

The link in the “Giveaway Rules” section is bad though. I think it is because it is trying to go to …./2020/03/…. instead of …./2020/04/….
(Of course, that is HERE, so why do you need to click on it?!) 🙂
