Review: Mystery/ Romance/ Adventure 184 pages
WOW!!! I love this book! It's adventure, romance, and mystery all together. The Face on the Milk Carton
is about Janie Johnson trying to find her past.
The adventure begins when Janie picks up a milk carton with the picture of a three-year-old girl on the back who's been missing for twelve years! Janie recognized herself in the picture. She even remembers the dress the little girl is wearing. Janie can't even imagine her loving, kind parents kidnapping her! Janie and her boyfriend, Reeve tries to solve the mystery. Janie and Reeve reveal clues that seem incomplete. Janie asked her parents about it, and they only know part of the mystery. This story is a roller coaster of emotions. It is exhilarating! I recommend it to anyone who loves to read mysteries and romance!

Summary: Julie Perreau - Mr. Felt- 4th period- Book Review
Review: I'm almost positive that at one point in your life you have sat down in a school cafeteria. You have heard the noises behind you, teenagers howling and sharing gossip, food scattering across the tables. At that point I'm also sure that you have drank milk from a milk carton with a missing kid's ad on it, but, have you ever looked at the ad, to find it was you? This is the trauma Janie Johnson is experiencing, as a junior in high school, with the perfect family, the perfect school life, and the perfect friends, Janie would be the most in shock to find out that it was actually her picture on the milk carton she looked at during that one day at school. Slowly coming to senses, Janie realizes a lot of odd things about her family, not only do her parents not only seem pretty old to be normal parents, they also don't have any pictures of her before she was five years old, and all these memories she definitely knows did not occur with her parents come back to her immediately, revolving around ice cream, red head twins, and a mall. This is where out story begins.
After seeing this milk carton, Janie did what any other girl in her situation would have done, and she became curious and started to investigate. Between looking up old newspapers, and looking through boxes in the attic, even between trying to call the missing child number on the milk carton, Janie tried to put the pieces together. How could her loving parents, the ones who volunteered for every event in school, the ones who told her they loved her, and the ones who constantly made her life happy, have kidnapped her? The definitely did not seem like kidnappers, her best friend Reeve even told her, they were too kind to ever have taken a little girl named Jennie Spring, only three years old out of a shopping mall. One emotional night, she confronts her parents over the incidents; after all, things don't match up to her. She doesn't have a birth certificate, she has found a box labeled "Hannah" in the attic, and she starts finding things from her memories, such as a little polka dotted dress she knew she was wearing that day at the mall. Her parents explain the story. Their daughter Hannah had joined a cult in California, and a dangerous one at that. They explained that they hadn't seen their daughter in so long since she joined the cult, and one day, Hannah appeared with a baby girl by her side at their doorstep, and Hannah told them that baby was her daughter and she had married someone in the cult but wanted to keep the baby safe. They were so thrilled with the baby, naming it and buying it new things, until they realized, Hannah had come to keep the baby safe, but she would have to go back to the cult. They didn't see Hannah again, and to keep the baby safe, she never came back. The funny thing is, the story wasn't over, because their story still didn't match up.
More questions raced through Janie's head, her social life tumbling to ruins, with her friends starting to think she was going insane, and her boyfriend, Reeve pondering the same thing, always wanting to be with her but getting tired of the ramblings he has to face. Janie still has questions though. If that was all, and she was really Hannah's daughter, why would "The Springs" still be looking for their missing daughter? Even though Janie didn't want to accuse her parents of lying to her, the truth still layed undiscovered. Reeve tells his older sister the story, and before you know it, Reeve's older sister figures it out. Maybe, Hannah kidnapped Janie from the mall, which is possible because she was in a cult, she was scared, and she needed somebody to talk to. Over time Janie told her parents, explained to them what Hannah might have done. This thrilling novel ends in a way you would not expect, Janie's own mother calling the number, leaving you to wonder, What will happen to Janie? What will happen to her families? Will her old family force her to move back with them and even press charges against her mom and dad? The book leaves you with a stumped ending, and it gives you the urge to hit your nearest bookstore to buy the sequel, "What ever happened to Janie?" This book is a thriller and I recommend it to anyone with a good taste in literature who likes a good mystery. Janie is sure to make you want to check the milk carton at the lunch line after you read this book, because maybe the person on the carton after all, is you.

Summary: janie or jennie?
Review: The book "the face on the milk carton" by caroline B Cooney, was a very suspenful book. it was about a girl named Janie, or was her name Jennie? every week Janie and her friends would drink thier milk and then look at the carton to see who the new missing child was. but one day when they were looking at the missing child, Janie realized that it was her picture labeled as the missing child. her heart dropped. she thought about it for weeks before she showed her parents. when she did show them, they told her that they were really her grandparents and that her real mopther had ran away and joined a cult. she believed them but still had doubts. she was involved in a love relationship with her nieghbor Reeve. she had so much on her mind. one day her and Reeve skipped school and went to the shopping center that she had been 'kidnaped' from. at the end of the book her mother/grandmother had called her biological mother to let Janie talk to her. Does she ever get meet her mother?
i would recommed this book to anyone who loves mystery and suspense. throughout the book you never know what Janie will do next. the ending is a mystery. you have to read the books that follow to know what happens to her. so the ending is a mystery. its a great book that brings to light a lot of questions. If you had the choice to be with the family who has always loved and taken care of you? or would you rather have your biological family?

Summary: The Face on the Milk Carton
Review: I thought that this was a good book. It did have some dull parts though. Its basically about a girl who is living a normal life until one day she recognizes the face on one of those missing person pictures on a milk carton at school. It's her. The book basically describes what she goes through after that. She can't ignore the picture in her head. She finally talks to her parents or so she thought they were her parents. Before that she talks to her boyfriend about it. After all of it, it turns out that her real family is called the Springs. They call her real family and her family wants her back. She has to move with her new family and has to try and adjust to her new lifestyle. This book is book one out of four, so it is only the beginning to her whole new life.

Summary: STOLEN
Review: Very good book. I read the second ( What Ever Happen to Jaine) and the third ( The Voice on the Radio) which were also very good. Now I am reading the fourth ( What Jaine Found) and it is good so far. These are one of the best books I ever read!
