Escape from Memory by Margaret Peterson Haddix

An interesting story about a teenage girl with strange memories.

Recommended age: 12 or older.

Kira Landon thought she was an ordinary girl until one fateful day at one of the weekly sleepovers at her friend Lynne’s house.  Nothing unusual at first. But then it happened. Bored with the sappy drama movies they usually watch, one of the girls suggests trying hypnotism, and Kira is volunteered to be the victim. But instead of getting info on her latest crush, Kira’s friends hear her reciting a strange, exciting memory from a forgotten past. And Kira is determined to dig deep down into her roots to figure it out. But when Kira’s mom disappears, and a woman, calling herself Kira’s Aunt Memory pops up at Kira’s door, it appears she has dug deeper than she should have, and Kira isn’t certain she can ever get out.
