Summary: You are what you remember
Review: In the novel Escape from Memory, Margaret Peterson Haddix shows her ability yet again to come up with a plausible new world to show her readers.
Kira, the main character, gets more than she bargained for after being hypnotized by her friends at a sleepover. She begins to learn that her past may be a lot more interesting than she thought. Her mother refuses to tell Kira what her memory of being carried away from danger as a toddler might mean and so Kira and her friend Lynne then decide to find out why she was able to understand a language in her hypnosis that no one else can recognize and what else Kira's past might hold. Kira soon finds herself on a plane with a woman who claims to be her "Aunt Memory" from her homeland Crythe while Kira's mother is nowhere to be found.
Haddix has crafted wonderful novels and this is yet another that will appeal to a wide range of readers. This sci fi novel will appeal to sci fi fans as well as those readers who appreciate a well crafted realistic story since the backstory is well explained. I would recommend this to readers from eleven up to adult.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best book I've ever read
Review: This book is the best book I have ever read. Kira, Sophia, Rona, and Lynne are the most remarkable characters in this book. Kira is the best character of all. Kira has a lot of friends in Willistown that care a lot about her,and will be at her side 24 hours a day if they could. Kira is a very good friend because in the book Kira looks out for Lynne through out all the problems with their stay in Crythe. Kira really cares about her mother Sophia. Kira during the story helps try to save her mom from getting killed or injured in any way. Lynne helped Kira get through their plan. Rona is a very evil woman. She doesn't care about anyone but herself and so she can rule Crythe for the rest of her life. Rona has a very negative attitude toward things when they don't go her way. I do think people who would like mysteries, adventures, and very well thought out planning will not like but love this very exciting book.
