An amazing book that held my interest as a kid, and when I got older. I don't re-read books very often, but I had to with this one.

Kira lives in a small town in Ohio with her librarian mother who shuns television and other technology that is normal in all of her friends’ houses. Needless to say, Kira spends a lot of time at her best friend Lynne’s house. Every Friday night, the girls have a sleepover and watch sappy movies, but this time, they decide they want to try hypnotizing each other. Somehow, Kira is chosen. She relates a memory that she has never remembered before and her friends are shocked. Lynne, especially, begins to analyze what happened, wondering if Kira is a refugee from some war-torn third world country. Kira asks her mother about it but finds no answers. Then her mother disappears and a strange woman calling herself Aunt Memory shows up to take Kira to a place named Crythe where everything starts to come together

Overall, I liked the book as Haddix always writes interesting plot lines.
What I would have loved to see from this book would have been more action on Crythe and more of a description of the place. I felt the book lacked a true picture of Crythe and it could have been developed more.
I also did not feel there was much character development with Kira. She seemed to be the same throughout the whole book.
I loved the idea of Lynne being the supportive yet encouraging friend. Lynne following Kira was a great example of a true and caring friend.

I read this about 6 or 7 years ago when I was in 6th or 5th grade and remember loving it!

Another great thriller from Haddix. A young girl finds out that she has memories from an earlier time in life and tries to figure out who she is and where she came from. Lots of suspense with strong girl characters.
