"[Luke], I am your father." That infamous Star Wars (http://mashable.com/category/star-wars/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) line is a prime example of how a well-crafted plot twist can breathe new life into any story.
We've been thinking about plot twists this month in Mashable's social book club MashableReads (http://mashable.com/category/mashablereads/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss), as we read James McBride (http://www.jamesmcbride.com/)'s The Good Lord Bird (http://www.amazon.com/The-Good-Lord-Bird-**vel/dp/1594486344). As readers follow Little Onion, a slave who is rescued (or kidnapped, depending on who you ask) from slavery by John Brown, The Good Lord Bird shocks readers with a variety of plot twists, including the fact that Little Onion is a boy who is posing as a girl to survive.
