Kira Landon is basically your typical ordinary girl. One day, at a sleepover, she allows her friends to hypnotize her. They find a shocking secret that she was kidnapped from a certain place...during a war. She thinks it's crazy and tries to confront her mother about it, but her mom refuses to talk about it. The next day, her mom is kidnapped and she is approached by "Aunt Memory" who lies that she is basically Kira's guardian. They travel to Crythe, which is basically a mystical place where the inhabitants remember everything. Literally. They remember every conversation, each face, and beyond that. Kira and Lynne (Kira's best friend who was the one who hypnotized Kira) discover Aunt Memory is actually Rona Cummins, a foe of Kira's dead parents who is after her parents memories. Kira's parents had discovered a way to somehow rearrange memories and replace it with someone or put it into a computer that they made. She soon discovers that her parents memories are inside her head, and Lynne unlocks it by hypnotizing her again. Kira's mom is actually her real mom but her mom believes that she is her sister, Sophia. Kira faces many choices in order to save Lynne, her mom and her parent's memories.
This story was so mindblowing! Margaret Peterson Haddix (I like to call her MPH aka miles per hour, haha) thinks of the craziest ideas! Like in this story, it was about people who could remember everything and discover how to arrange the memories in their head through a computer. Another book had this girl who took an operation and now, she won't stop growing younger. MPH is a genious! I hope you've read some of her books. :)
