Under Their Skin Review
Title: Under Their Skin
Author: Margaret Peterson Haddix
Genres: Sci-fi, Action, adventure, thriller
Page Length: 320 pages
Summary: Nick and Eryn's mom is getting remarried, and the twelve-year-old twins are skeptical when she tells them their lives won't change much. Well, yes, they will have to move. And they will have a new stepfather, stepbrother, and stepsister. But Mom tells them not to worry. They won't ever have to meet their stepsiblings. This news puzzles Nick and Eryn, so the twins set out on a mission to find out who these kids are, and why they're being kept hidden.
My Thoughts: This is a very exciting book. As you may have guessed, I'm a huge action/adventure fan, so that part was good. The protagonists were likable, and seemed like real twelve-year-olds [and I've been twelve, so I should know].
Anyway, there isn't much I can say without giving anything away, but Haddix is a master of cliffhangers and plot twists. She keeps it feeling intense, until the end. I'd definitely recommend this book. If you have trouble following complicated storylines, I wouldn't recommend it, but most of you can probably handle this.
Haddix is a Christian author, so for those of you worried about content, it's not an issue. I don't remember any bad words, over-the-top violence or sexual content.
Anyway, it's a really good book, and you should totally read it.
I'd give it a solid 9 out of 10 stars.
