Author Biography Margaret Peterson Haddix grew up on a farm in Ohio. As a kid, she knew two girls who had the exact same first, middle, and last names and shared the same birthday--only one year apart--and she always thought that was bizarre.As an adult, Haddix worked as a newspaper reporter and copy editor in Indiana before her first book, Running Out of Time, was published. She has since written more than forty books for kids and teens, including the Greystone Secrets series, the Shadow Children series, the Missing series, the Children of Exile series, and lots of stand-alones. Haddix and her husband, Doug, now live in Columbus, Ohio, where they raised their two kids.

VERDICT Gripping, heartfelt, thoughtful and fun, Remarkables will delight readers of both tween realism and time-travel fantasy." -- School Library Journal (starred review)"As ever, Haddix plots her satisfying mystery with careful touch points and reveals. But it is her smart exploration of the pasts legacy and sensitively painted family dynamics--from Marins exhausted but joyful parents to Charleys difficult family story--that make this story remarkable." -- Publishers Weekly"Blending issues that matter to young adolescents with intrigue and a surprise ending, Haddix proves why shes a master of middle-grade fiction." -- Kirkus ReviewsPRAISE FOR GREYSTONE SECRETS #1: THE STRANGERS: "A satisfying third-person narrative that portrays the complex anxieties and internal lives of close, caring family members grappling with a single set of extraordinary circumstances--separately and together.
