Greystone Secrets #2: The Deceivers

De: Margaret Peterson Haddix

Narrado por: Jorjeana Marie

The second book in the Greystone Secrets series from the master of plot twists, Margaret Peterson Haddix - perfect for fans of A Wrinkle in Time and The City of Ember!

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 best-selling 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.

Haddix does it again!! Another great read

I loved how the narrator had different voices for each of the characters! awesome

Everything

This book was just as fun as the first, maybe even more fun! Everything from the mystery, to the storyline, to the characters and so much more! My favorite part was when the two Natalie’s met🤗.
This book was full of exciting twists and turns!
Thank you Margaret Peterson Haddix🙏

Great story!! The narration is EXCELLENT!!!

Book #2 held up to my high expectations. My kids loved it. And I enjoyed listening right along with them.. I can't wait for book #3!!!

Cute but not as fun as the first book

I didn't like this quite as much as the first one, I think because the first had more mystery and now we know about the other world. I still love the kids, especially Finn who is too adorable for his own good, and I enjoyed seeing them solve puzzles to figure out how to save the moms. Chess is a good leader and his crush on Natalie is sweet. Emma is so smart and I was proud of her when she figured out things.
We didn't experience much of the other world, just stayed inside other Natalie's house which made the story feel a bit slower. I did like meeting some of the other people and the rescue of the moms was fun.

I'm looking forward to the third book to see what happens with the other world!

ummm...

The overall story was just ok. The narration was great. The first book was better and had more adventure and kept you guess. This book was underwhelming compared to the first. I forced myself to finish because I can't leave a book unread.
