Remarkables

Remarkables by Margaret Peterson Haddix

One minute, they're there laughing and having fun at the house next door. The next minute, gone. Like magic. Marin can't believe her eyes. Who are these teenagers, and how do they just appear and disappear?

Marin spots the mysterious neighbors the first day after moving to a new house in a new town when everything seems to be changing: she also has a new baby brother and is about to start a new school. What if she's the only one who can see the teenagers? Then she meets a boy named Charley, who reluctantly reveals that he knows about them, too. He calls them "Remarkables."

Charley warns her to stay away from the Remarkables -- and him. Life hasn't been kind to Charley. And Marin can't stop thinking about something bad that happened back in her old town. could the Remarkables help? Or, is she supposed to help them? Maybe Marin and Charley can fix everything, if they can only figure out the Remarkables. But the Remarkables disappear every time they get close.

In this unusual and thought-provoking novel, New York Times bestselling author Margaret Peterson Haddix weaves a story about how past, present, and future lives intersect, and how family and friends make hope possible.
