Escape From Memory—Margaret Peterson Haddix

Search in York County Library System

While playing around with hypnotism at a party, Kira remembers fleeing a war-torn country with her mother, speaking a language she can't identify. A few days later her mother disappears, and a woman who calls herself Kira's aunt Memory takes Kira to Crythe, a country that doesn't officially exist, in order to rescue her -- or so she says. Kira soon learns that Aunt Memory is not what she seems, and that she and her mother are both in terrible danger. There are memories locked in her mind that could get them killed -- but those memories are the only thing that might save them.
