About the Book
Greystone Secrets 3: The Messengers
Written by Margaret Peterson Haddix
Ages 8-12 | 416 Pages
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books | ISBN-13 : 978-0062838438
Publisher’s Synopsis: 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 attack—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.

About the Author
Margaret Peterson Haddix grew up on a farm in Ohio. As a kid, she knew two girls who had the exact same first, middle, and last names and shared the same birthday—only one year apart—and she always thought that was bizarre.
As an adult, Haddix worked as a newspaper reporter and copy editor in Indiana before her first book, Running Out of Time, was published. She has since written more than forty books for kids and teens, including the Greystone Secrets series, the Shadow Children series, the Missing series, the Children of Exile series, and lots of stand-alones. Haddix and her husband, Doug, now live in Columbus, Ohio, where they raised their two kids.

What great books for my grandson who is 13 and loves to read. He is in 9th grade and is behind in reading and has a stutter so life has thrown him some curveballs but he is reading and calling me with his reviews and I write them for him, He loves that and I think as a former teacher I am in Iowa and he is in Ca so we have to do by phone but that is fun for him, He has greatly improved on his reading and all of the pitches that have been thrown at him by life and peers he is a strong boy and has a great back bone as he knows he is better than they say he is. He is bound to show them and is proud to be catching up even though we have a bad covid in our country. He loves the adventures that these books take him on and he doesn’t live near his older sis or younger brother but knows that someday he will be with them and they will be together the 3 of them and I for a long time.
