Book Review of The One I Left Behind

The One I Left Behind
reviewed on + 52 more book reviews


I'm always up for a Jennifer McMahon book! This one has the same patterns as several of her other ones -- dual timeline, alternating between 1980s and present day (well, 2010), and a trio of kids who are determined to solve a mystery. This one didn't have a strong paranormal thread in it, which I missed. That's the main reason I love her other books. I enjoyed the story and loved the characters, plus the descriptions of the cool house Monique's Wish made me envision the story so vividly.
