Evaluate Of Books Escape from Memory

Fifteen-year-old Kira Landon allows a friend to hypnotize her during a sleepover. They get more than they expected when Kira remembers being carried through the streets of a strange city at twilight as guns sound in the distance.This memory - if that is what it was - triggers questions for Kira that she never thought of before. Why is the only relative she has ever known her mother? Did she at one time speak another language? Was she kidnapped or saved from a war-torn country? Her mother refuses

This book was just o.k. for me. While normally I enjoy reading M.P. Haddix, this one was choppy, overly rushed, and lacked character development. Felt more like a first attempt at writing from an inexperience budding author.

Escape From Memory is full of mystery and adventure. It starts out telling about kira and her friends. This story is all about Kira wondering where she came from after she was playing with hypnotism. She remembers a war torn country, cobble stone streets, and her mother or who ever she was. Strange things were about to happen to fourteen year old KiraKira is a fourteen year old who has lighter skin then her friends. Her hair is dark and cut as her friends. Her eyes are dark and ever so slightly

Never ending and suspenseful!

This books is good for middle or high schools students. Nothing inappropriate, but more relateable for an older reader.Kira leads the life of a typical teenager - school, tests, friends, sleepovers. This typical teenager, however, has a secret family history. A part of this history is revealed when her friends play a game of hypnotizing her. While under hypnosis, Kira speaks words in an unknown language. Kira confronts her mother, but she is secretive and will not explain anything to Kira. Kira



It was an interesting story, but very illogical in places and it felt like a short story rather than a full-length novel, since it took place over such a short period of time. I find this often makes it more difficult to get into a story if it is not written very well. A problem I frequently encounter with Meg Cabot's books. Anyway, overall, a good story, with a proper climax and conflict, as well as some nice philosophical musing over what makes us who we are. Dreams? Memories? Actions? Hopes?
