Double Identity by Margaret Haddix

Description: As Bethany approaches her thirteenth birthday, her parents begin acting more oddly than usual: Her mother cries constantly, and her father barley lets Bethany out of site. Then one morning he hustels the entire family into the car. He drives across several state lines- and leaves BEthany with an aunt she never knew existed. Bethany has no idea what's going on. She's worried that her mon and dad are running from some kind of trouble, but she can't find out because they won't tell her where they are going.
Bethany's only clue is a few words she over heard her father tell her aunt Myrlie: 'She doesn't know anything about Elizabeth.' But Aunt Myrlie won't tell Bethany who Elizabeth is, and she won't explain why everyone in her town reaacts to her as if they have seen a ghost. The mystery intensifies when Bethany gets a package from her father containing four different birth certificates from four states with four different last names- and thousands of dollars in cash. And when a strange man shows up asking questions, Bethany realizes she's not the only one who's desperate to unravel the secrets of her past.
