The Face on the Milk Carton

The Face on the Milk Carton is packed with suspense, mystery and some romance. Janie Johnston sees her name on a milk carton under "missing children." Frightened, Janie desperately tries to get answers. If she was kidnapped, it would have happened a long time ago, right? With so many questions, Janie is getting really confused. How will Janie ever find out the truth?

I love this book because of the suspense and surprises on every page. It is fun to read because you never know just what might happen. It is a very well written book because almost anyone can relate to the character, Janie. She is like anyone you may know. Janie changes from a shy and quiet girl in the beginning to a really outgoing character. When I was reading this book, it made me wonder if anything like this could happen to my friends or to me!

I recommend this book to boys and girls ages 10 and up. It really makes you think. This book leaves you hanging; so you'll definitely want to read the thrilling sequel, Whatever Happened to Janie?
