Look Again, by Lisa Scottoline

In Look Again by Lisa Scottoline, reporter Ellen Gleeson is shocked when she sees a photo of a child in a missing child flyer identical to her adopted son. She adopted her son when he was a sick one-year-old two years ago. The adoption seemed completely legal and lawful, but Ellen now feels as though something must be wrong and suspicious about it. To make matters worse, after investigating and looking further into the adoption papers, she finds that some details do not fit or make sense. Ellen wants to come to some sort of conclusion, but is afraid of what future events it may lead to.

This story is beyond thrilling and mysterious. It will keep readers wanting to know more and more about what is to come until they reach the end. The situation of Ellen and her son is found to be quite emotional and touching as well. Overall, the story moves very quickly while still being able to keep readers engaged. I give this book a 10/10 rating and recommend it to readers who would enjoy an entertaining and fast-paced mystery about a mother's search and journey for answers regarding her son's questionable adoption.

-Reviewed by Emily K., grade 12.
