changed everything. Callie Leary has exactly one thing, and one thing only, in
common with Nia Rivera and Hal Bennett: They were each chosen by Amanda to be
her guide. When Amanda arrived at Endeavor High, she told Callie she moves
around a lot and always picks one person to help her navigate the choppy waters
of a new school. Why did Amanda lie? Following a course that they suspect
Amanda deliberately plotted, Callie, Nia, and Hal piece together some cryptic
clues. But they find more questions than answers and quickly realize that
before they can figure out what happened to Amanda—the girl who changed their
lives—they'll need to solve the most important mystery of all: Who is Amanda
Valentino?
This is the first book in the Amanda Project. It starts off
with three kids who go to school together but aren’t actually friends being
called into the vice principal’s office. They soon learn that they have more in
common than they ever realized. Now they are all trying to get in touch with
Amanda, who has just disappeared. The story is told from Callie’s perspective.
This is one of those interactive stories that you can join in on after
finishing the book by going online. There is a lot to it but it just makes for
a richer story. As Callie, Nia and Hal put the pieces together they realize
they have no idea who Amanda really is. I really liked this story and look
forward to reading the next book, Revealed.
