Suspenseful and mysterious, Children of Exile by Margaret Peterson Haddix introduces us to young Rosi and her brother, Bobo, who live in Fredtown. Fredtown is a place of harmony, love, and trust, and it’s the only home Rosi and Bobo have ever known, ever since they were taken as babies from their true parents when it became too dangerous for them to stay. Fredtown has been a haven for them and the other children to grow up—but now everything is changing. When they find out all the children are being sent home—to their real parents—everything Rosi thought she knew about life begins to unravel. And when home is nothing like what they were told it would be, Rosi finds herself facing difficult decisions as she attempts to keep Bobo and the other children safe. There is some depiction of harm done to children, though instances are brief and not detailed. Discussion questions included in the back. 304 pages, softcover.

Description
Publisher's Description of Children of Exile (Children of Exile)
For the past twelve years, adults called “Freds” have raised Rosi, her
younger brother Bobo, and the other children of their town, saying it is
too dangerous for them to stay with their parents, but now they are all
being sent back. Since Rosi is the oldest, all the younger kids are
looking to her with questions she doesn’t have the answers to. She’d
always trusted the Freds completely, but now she’s not so sure.
And their home is nothing like she’d expected, like nothing the Freds had prepared them for. Will Rosi and the other kids be able to adjust to their new reality?
