Bookroo's summary

Rosi, raised by mysterious adults called 'Freds,' is thrust into uncertainty as she and her brother return to a home they never knew. As the eldest, she must navigate a world filled with secrets and unexpected dangers. Trust is shattered, and Rosi must decide how far she'll go to protect her family and possibly all of humanity. Can she uncover the truth and adapt to this new reality, or will the past's shadows consume them all? Dive into a gripping tale of courage and discovery in a world where nothing is as it seems.

From the publisher

Rosi must decide what she’s willing to risk to save her family–and maybe even all of humanity–in the thrilling first novel of a brand-new trilogy from New York Times bestselling author, Margaret Peterson Haddix. 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?
