Two boys discover their adoptions are nowhere near ordinary and attempt to uncover the truth. This science fiction mystery will appeal to both boys and girls (as the third protagonist is a sister). Many clues turn out to be red herrings, but the kids' persistence, ingenuity, and loyalty take them far. The siblings relationship is convincingly teasing, maddening, and loving.
Spoiler: The sequel will add historical fiction to the mix of genres. Time travel books tend to be little too far-fetched for my own preference, particularly when the characters all accept it too easily, but this has been a popular novel and I'd be interested to hear how readers enjoy the back-in-time follow-up.
