A teen learns that her entire life has been a lie - and her parents are not who she thought they were - in this quick, compelling read for teens who struggle with reading. It sheds light on what it's like to be an average, everyday teen who learns that her father was a terrorist who committed a heinous atrocity.
Short read, enjoyed the story but the ending felt very unfinished to me
I read this timely book in one sitting. Tackling a sensitive topic, Langston writes of a teen learning about the impact of choices, judgments and stereotyping - all with smooth writing anyone can enjoy. This highly experienced, multi-published author strikes home again with a story that sucks you in and still holds you long after you close the book. Langston's skill at creating main characters who are sympathetic, real, and down-to-earth is spot on - Megan Caliente is a character I hope to see i...
Interesting storyline
Full review at A Writer Reads.I really liked this! I mean, it’s always a roulette with hi-lo books, since the writing can be either brilliant or mediocre fairly easily. It’s the difference between My First Board Book and The Old Man and the Sea—simple vs. style. With In Plain Sight, though, Langston’s simplicity emphasizes the struggles going on in Megan’s head.

Laura finds out that her whole life has been a lie when she is detained by the police at a protest. Her mom has been hiding in plain sight under a fake name in an attempt to protect Laura from the fact that her father is a terrorist and is in jail, not dead as Laura has always believed. She now struggles with these new truths and the mean gossip that starts to circulate.A hi-lo about families, friendships, and figuring out who you really are and what's important to you.
Top marks for uniqueness and tackling a heavy topic. I can't imagine discovering your mother has lied to you about everything in your life, and your father is a terrorist. The book started off strong, but petered out in the way it dealt with the issues. The shock that would come with the discoveries Megan had could not be dealt with in 144 pages. For that reason the story felt rushed to me, and the ending felt flat and anticlimactic.
