I really enjoyed this book! I did not read book 1 because I didn't pay much attention to it but then while I was reading this book a thought hit me, I was reading book 2! This book is about 4 kids Chess, Natalie, Emma, and Finn. ( Chess, Emma, and Finn are siblings) The four kids have to find a way to get into the other world and save their beloved ones. Of course! With the lever! But the four kids have to be very careful because in the other world everyone is evil and no one can trust anyone. My thoughts: I had a hard time with my summary so if you want to know what happens read the book! I was captivated in this book and I really enjoyed it! I think that when you read this book you to will be very engaged with the characters and the plot and the story line! I hope you give this book a try!

Greystone Secrets #2: The Deceivers
By Margaret Peterson Haddix
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 bestselling 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.

I am reading this one and so far I really like it. So, in this book 3 siblings, Chess, Emma, and Finn are staying with their friend Natasha and her dad. Both their mother and Natasha's mother are trapped in an alternate world, where they get in trouble for doing the right thing. The 4 kids are trying to figure out how to get back into the alternate world to save their mothers, plus this other guy that is helping them. While they are trying to do that, they also have to solve the mystery of what happened to their dad!! It is so exciting and *spoiler alert* I think Chess has a huge crush on Natasha!!
