Who reads?

I’m just like everybody else who doesn’t like to read. However, back in middle school a friend of mine read a book called Double Identity by Margaret Peterson. When my friend described the book to me, it instantly struck my interest. I immediately asked my mom to buy the book for me and gratefully she did. Double Identity is about a young girl by the name of Bethany who has to deal with her parents acting strange towards the approach of her thirteenth birthday. Her parents act extremely odd compared to how they usually act and Bethany doesn’t know what to think. She begins to realize that her dad doesn’t let her out of his sight and her mother cries consistently now. It all begins one morning when her dad rushes the entire family in the car and drives across state after state. Her father then leaves Bethany at her aunt’s house. However, this isn’t just some normal aunt; this is an aunt she never knew existed. The only thing for Bethany to think is going on is that her parents are in some type of trouble. Being at her aunt’s house Bethany begins to pick up some clues. She overheard her aunt Myrlie on the phone saying, “She doesn’t know anything about Elizabeth.” When Bethany asks her aunt Myrlie about whom this Elizabeth girl is, her aunt won’t tell her. On top of that, everybody in her aunt’s town reacts to Bethany as if they are seeing a ghost. This books mystery becomes even more hyped as soon as Bethany gets a random package from her dad that consists of four different birth certificates from four different states with four different last names. Also in the package is thousands of dollars, in cash. Bethany soon begins to realize she isn’t the only one desperate to know these secrets when a strange man shows up at her aunt’s door asking questions. This is the type of story that I could read over and over again. The mystery in this book takes many twists and turns that you don’t even expect. Double Identity is one book that will keep you on the edge of your seat wanting to know more. For those who want to read a good mystery book that will easily hold your attention, I would say to read this one, no doubt!
