Chasing Secrets by Gennifer Choldenko

3.0

For a book about saving people, it sure was boring. Right when I thought the book would be over, it kept going. By that time, however, it had lost me. When I first started Chasing Secrets, I was intrigued by the female doctor angle. I liked Lizzie’s spunk and thought she was a cool character. I thought that Lizzie’s first secret would be the main point of the book, and it would have been fine if it was. Overall, it was decent, but the plot lines were all over the place. Character appearances weren’t consistent, either. I liked Lizzie’s new friend, but she was only in a portion of the book. Billy was around sometimes, and others not, and Noah just disappeared, like Jing. What a mess. It’s a shame, because the unique characters made the book stronger. Kids might find it fast-paced and entertaining, but it wasn’t for me.
