Author: Gennifer Choldenko
Genre: fantasy
Setting: it mainly takes place in the city of Falling Bird in either present day or future
Summary: When the Tompkins have to move, their mother decides that they should go to Uncle Red's house before she gets there. India, Finn, and Mouse take a plane, but when they land, everything seems very strange, but India (the oldest) tries to reassure them that Uncle Red set everything up. Later on, they find out that they are in the city of Falling Bird, and that they have to find a black box in order to get out of the city. They have very limited time, which is being kept on individual clocks for each of them. But when India gets a job in Falling Bird, will she even want to leave? Can Finn and Mouse convince her? And will they be able to get out of the city?
I thought this book was pretty good. At first, I thought it was a little bit confusing, though. It was really interesting, and The characters had strong personalities, especially Mouse, who is the youngest. I think you would like this book if you like books with strange and interesting settings.
