 * Good sections to read aloud:**

Kira’s friends hypnotize her for the fun of it at a slumber party. What Kira doesn’t realize is that the memories she had ARE real. When she asks her mother about them, her mom acts rather strange, and then the next day, her mom disappears. An older woman shows up at Kira’s apartment and tells her that she must travel to another place to help her mom get out of the danger she has been placed in. Kira doesn’t feel like she has much of a choice, so she goes with the older lady, and that’s when she realizes that not only is her mother in grave danger, but so is she.
