Leslee's Review: Double Identity by Margaret Peterson Haddix

11th Grade
Double Identity
By:  Margaret Peterson Haddix

This story is about a thirteen year old girl named Bethany.  Her life seems fairly normal up until recently, when everything seems to upset her parents.  Eventually, her parents randomly take Bethany to her Aunt Myrlie’s house and leave with no explanations.  Now Bethany’s life is turned upside down as she begins to hear things about a girl named Elizabeth and as she starts to uncover her history.  She worries about her parents and constantly tries to figure out what kind of trouble they may be in.  Furthermore, Bethany is the talk of the town, where everyone that sees her not only recognizes her, but acts as though they have seen a ghost.  Similarities and differences emerge between Bethany and Elizabeth, strange clues that Elizabeth eventually pieces together to discover who she really is and where she really came from.  We discover what happened to Elizabeth and what Bethany’s parents are running from.  This is an intense book that is hard to put down.  I picked it up because I like Margaret Peterson Haddix, and I finished it because it kept me interested.  I had to know the answers Bethany was searching for.  I would recommend this book to anyone who likes suspense, mystery, and excitement.  I would give this book a 5***** star rating.
