#Review of Under Their Skin (Under Their Skin #1) by Margaret Peterson Haddix & #Giveaway via @SimonKIDS

Published By: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers Release Date: January 5th 2016 Genres: Middle Grade, Science Fiction Pages: 320  Source: Publisher Add it to Goodreads From New York Times bestselling author Margaret Peterson Haddix comes the first book in a brand-new thrilling series about twins who are on a quest to discover the secrets being kept by their new family.

Nick and Eryn's mom is getting remarried, and the twelve-year-old twins are skeptical when she tells them their lives won't change much. Well, yes, they will have to move. And they will have a new stepfather, stepbrother, and stepsister. But Mom tells them not to worry. They won't ever have to meet their stepsiblings.

This news puzzles Nick and Eryn, so the twins set out on a mission to find out who these kids are - and why they're being kept hidden.

Margaret Peterson Haddix grew up on a farm near Washington Court House, Ohio. She graduated from Miami University (of Ohio) with degrees in English/journalism, English/creative writing and history. Before her first book was published, she worked as a newspaper copy editor in Fort Wayne, Indiana; a newspaper reporter in Indianapolis; and a community college instructor and freelance writer in Danville, Illinois. 

She has since written more than 25 books for kids and teens.

I'm not really into Middle Grade books but this one was good! I thoroughly enjoyed it. The characters are good (sometimes I could not differentiate between the twins)  and the plot was great. And there was a twist I was not expecting. How Eryn reacted to everything was on point (and totally me). Go read this book!!
