Summary: Keeps you hanging on...
Review: If you don't like series, I would not suggust buying or reading this book. The story line is very interesting, and well written, but the end of the book does not bring the end of the story. I have read three of the four books in the series and have found every one of them interesting. The book is best for young teenagers or pre-teens.

Summary: Full of Sexually Suggestive Material - Not for young readers
Review: I was surprised at the amount of suggestive sexual material was in this book. While the story is good, I feel that this book should be directed at an older audience than it currently is. I work in a library and I know that there are kids as young as 8 reading this material! While we do live in a highly sexualized country, do you want your child exposed to this? If you want to learn more about this story I suggest that you watch the movie.

Summary: The Page Turner Series!
Review: The Face on the Milk Carton series is one of the greatest. Take it from me... I'm already on the third book after 2 weeks! The first book, The Face on the Milk Carton, is a classic mystery of whether or not to believe a 12 year old kinapping of a Jennie Spring. Janie Johnson or Jennie Spring? Janie has to decide whether or not to tell her "parents" what she saw on the milk carton, and if she should believe what she saw. Is it a trick, or is it serious? Are her parents kinappers? Who is Hannah? The book is a page turner, and it keeps you in suspense. I would recommend this book series to anyone who likes reading, or who likes mysteries. This book as well as the others in the series, are wonderful books to read. I cannot wait to read the fourth book! See-ya readers! ~Bookworm Breezy

Summary: The Face on the Milk Carton
Review: Janie Johnson was a normal tenth grade girl. She had loving parents and friends. She did everything fifteen-year-olds usually do. Then one day, something out of the ordinary happened. Janie came across a picture of a missing child on the side of her friend's milk carton. She looked closer and began to realize that the little girl was actually her. Over time, the clues start to piece together. Memories come back to Janie in "Daymares". She starts to worry that her parents might not really be her parents after all. She wonders if the people that brought her up had kidnapped her. She doesn't want to believe it, and tries to forget it all, but the clues keep coming and she keeps seeing memories. Suddenly, Janie's life isn't so normal anymore. Her friends notice that something is wrong, but Janie won't tell anyone what's going on. She decides to do some research of her own to get to the bottom of this, leading up to the suspenseful ending.

I would definitely recommend this book to all teenage readers. There is always something exciting happening, which made me want to read more every time. I enjoyed reading about people my age and being able to relate to some things. It kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book. It was always unpredictable what would happen next. I liked this book because it was suspenseful and action packed. I've never wondered what it would be like to not know where I came from, and if my parents were really who I think they are. This made it interesting to read a story about it. I enjoyed reading about something I've never thought of before. It was definitely a good book and I'm sure other people will enjoy it to.

Review: The Face on the Milk Carton

By: Caroline B. Cooney

The Face on the Milk Carton is about a girl named Janie Johnson. At lunch one day she looks on the back of a milk carton and sees a face of a little girl with her hair in pigtails, wearing a blue dress with polka dots. This little three-year-old girl was kidnapped in a shopping mall twelve years ago. Suddenly she realizes that the girl is herself. Janie is extremely shocked that her "real" parents kidnapped her. When she begins to solve the mystery. It makes absolutely no sense. She wonders if Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are really her parents. If they aren't, she wonders who's Janie Johnson. What is going to happen to Janie.
My favorite character is Pete, Janie's boyfriend, because he helps her through tough times. I can relate to Sarah-Charlotte, Janie's best friend, because when something unexpected happens and a best a best friend needs a shoulder to lean on, I would be there. I love this book. It's so sad, but then it grasps me when it's unexpected. My Favorite part of the book is when Janie finds her face on the milk carton. It's my favorite part because someone would never expect it, if there were no title. With the way the beginning of the book was going it sounded like a whole other story. My least favorite part is when the Johnson's find out what happened to their daughter. It's my least favorite part because it's so sad. I would recommend this book because it's so good and everyone should on a milk carton once and a while. That person could help friends and family very much. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries. Of course it was a good ending!

Review: Caroline B. Cooney's, The Face on the Milk Carton, realistically tells the story of Janie, a teen girl who one day while reading the back of her milk carton, finds out her parents may not be the parents she thought they were. As a reader you are kept entertained by the mistery of the story and the intriguing young romance between Janie and the "boy bext door," Reeve. This story truely captures all the emotions of teenage life. After reading this novel you will find yourself paying a little more attention to those faces on the back of your milk carton.

Summary: Sometimes what you Don't Know can Ruin Your Life.
Review: This book is a great way to make kids think about who they truly are. It could
relate to someone, maybe they will figure out who they are and where they really came
from.
The author's way of writing this book was great. I really liked the way he put so
many descriptive words in there. But I didn't like the concept of the red hair. Have you
really thought about what you have in common with your parents? Sometimes I think I'm
from a different family, but I always find something that I have in common with my
parents.

Summary: Why I love it
Review: The reason why I loved "The Face on the Milk Carton" so much, is because I actually relate to it. The way I most related was what Janie/Jennie went through with sitting down with who she thought what her parents, but are really her grandparents, hearing her whole family story. My "parents" are actually my "grandparents", and their daughter is my mom (who is a junkie). Just like Janie, sorta, but close enough for me, if you ask me. Durring chapter nine, I started to cry. I finished the whole book in less than thirty hours. I finished "Whatever Happened to Janie?," (the second book) in less than twelve, and I am already reading "The Voice on the Raido." I am eternatally grateful to my friend who told me about this book. I can't put these books down. They are the best books I have ever read.
