Have you ever forgotten an important date or forgotten to do something that you promised to do?  When you remembered, how did it make you feel?  In Escape from Memory, Kira discovers that she hasn’t just forgotten a homework assignment or a friend’s birthday.  She has forgotten her whole history.  Kira makes this discovery when she and her friends decide to experiment with hypnotism at a sleepover.  Sounds fun, huh?  But how much fun will it be when Kira’s discovery leads to the kidnapping of her mother, her best friend and herself?  How much fun is it to discover everything you’ve ever known was a lie?  Kira finds herself in a waking nightmare and her only escape is her forgotten memories.  Will Kira learn the truth before its too late?  Read Escape from Memory by Margaret Peterson Haddix to find out.  (Samantha McManus, South Carolina Book Awards, 2006)
