In the dazzling conclusion to the Greystone Secrets series from New York Times bestselling author Margaret Peterson Haddix, the Greystones and their doubles, the Gustanos, must team up to save the alternate worldâ??before both worlds are lost. All secrets are revealed in this page-turning, suspenseful story that shows the importance of teamwork, telling your story, and taking action when it matters most.

As book three of the Greystone Secrets series opens, the Greystone kids have their mother back from the evil alternate world, and so does their friend Natalie. But no one believes the danger is past.

Then mysterious coins begin falling from unexpected places. They are inscribed with codes that look just like what the Greystones' father was working on before he died. And with the right touch, those symbols transform into words: PLEASE LISTEN. And FIND US, SEE US, HELP US. . . .

The coins are messengers, telling the Greystones and their allies that their friends in the alternate world are under attackâ??and that the cruel, mind-controlling forces are now invading the better world, too.

After another spinning, sliding journey across worlds, the Greystone kids must solve mysteries that have haunted them since the beginning: what happened when the Gustanos were kidnapped, what created the alternate world, and how a group of mismatched kids can triumph once and for all against an evil force that seems to have total control… (meer)

I definitely didn't like this one as much as the first two---there just seemed to be a lot of melodrama, repetitiveness of people's thoughts and motives, and just a little too much stretching of reality (kids fighting adults...slow motion bad guys so fifty things can happen in 30 seconds, etc.)

Still, I feel like these books are important as, like I said in previous reviews, they give kids a look into the idea that the govt. might not actually have your best interests in mind.

I hope kids can see how the brainwashing scenes in this story parallels to today. Watching the enemies of the state being terminated on TV, the kids thought: “they deserve what they get for not complying”. That attitude is prevalent these last few years with people who think mandates and vaccines are their saviors.

Once the kids could break away from the brainwashing and look around them, they'd think: “wait, there isn’t the kind of danger like they say…” I found myself coming to that realization several times over the last couple years. When I found myself living in fear about what was going on around me, I'd think about what actually has affected me. Not much.

Also, had to laugh at one of the kids talking about the "old fashioned calculator". Yikes. Like hearing your high school songs on the oldies station...

My 13 year old daughter is reading the series. I'm sure I'll hold on to it for my other kids. I don't know who thinks an 8 year old is going to get these stories but maybe my 8 year olds have just been more innocent than the average?? ( )
