Summary: The Best Book
Review: The book was about two girls and a guy. The girl's names were Jenie and Sarah. The guys name is Reeve. When Jenie was a little girl she was kidnapped. One day she saw her name on a milk carton. Another day she found out that she had two families. She thinks the family she lives with now kidnapped her. Jenie has a crush on Reeve, but he is in collage and she isn't. Reeve works at a collage radio station. When he was on air he had nothing to say. So he started to tell the life story of Jenie. If you want to find out the ending I would get to the library to check out this book!

Summary: The Voice on The Radio- An Absolute Page-turner
Review: This book was very exciting. It's one of those books you can't put down. In this book, betrayal was everywhere. When Reeve joined the college radio station, he had absolutely nothing to say. But not for long. Soon after he found himself spilling Janie's story to thousands of people. He didn't think he would continue, but the radio station got so many callers he couldn't stop. He never thought Janie would find out so he kept on doing the janies. I thought it was so mean of Reeve to do this to his girlfriend when she was going through enough trouble already. This book is a companion to The Face On the Milk Carton and Whatever Happened to Janie. After The Voice on The Radio there is also one more called What Janie found. If you like exciting books, read them all!

Summary: Emily's Review
Review: I thought That The Voice on the Radio by Caroline B. Cooney was a really exciting book, but at times sad. The book was about Janie;s boyfriend going off to collage and getting a job as the Dj at the collages radio station. He can not think of anything to talk about, so he desides to talk about the confusing life of Janie. He thought that this would be a one time deal, but since so many callers called in the had to make it a reagual program.
I couldent belive that Reeve would betray his girlfriend like that and tell her personal life story to thousdands of people in a differnent town. I though that this book was a real page turner, but it ended so suddenly. I hope that the next book comes out soon so that i can read if Janie and reeve ever get back togeather again.

Summary: Third Book in the Janie Series
Review: "The Voice on the Radio" picks up one year after "Whatever Happened to Janie?" ended. Janie Johnson (aka Jennie Spring) is now a junior in high school (still in Connecticut), and Reeve Shields, her boyfriend, is a freshman at Hills College in Boston, Massachusetts. He's also the main character in this book.

The book starts out on Reeve's first day of hosting a one-hour talk program on the college campus radio, WSCK. He's extremely nervous and has no material to speak of--until he flashes on his girlfriend's traumatic past. For an hour, Reeve retells Janie's discovery of the missing children's ad on the side of the milk carton, realizing it was a picture of herself, and that she had been kidnapped over twelve years ago. From then on, Reeve has an immediate and devoted audience. They want to know everything that happened to Janie, but how far will Reeve go to maintain his popularity and status?

Meanwhile, Jodie Spring (Janie's biological older sister) is planning a weekend trip to Boston to scout-out potential colleges. She invites Janie and Brian (one of their younger twin brothers) along for the ride, but all three get more than they bargained for when they tune in to Reeve's secretive radio show. Needless to say, they're all shocked and horrified by what he's done. How could he do this to them, especially Janie? More importantly, how can they forgive him for exposing their family's secret so publicly? And what about that mysterious caller who claimed to be Hannah Javensen, Janie's kidnapper?

Just as gripping as the previous two books in this series ("The Face on the Milk Carton" and "Whatever Happened to Janie?"), "The Voice on the Radio" definitely doesn't disappoint. It leaves you wanting more, and, thankfully, there is another book after this one: "What Janie Found". This series could go on and on forever, and I would still be reading every book too. They're very addictive.

While this series is geared toward teen girls, I would still recommend it to anyone interested. It's well worth your time if you like true-to-life stories.

Summary: The boaring Voice
Review: "The Voice on the Radio" is about this girl Janie who decides to visit her boyfriend Reve at college. Only to find out that he has a broadcasting job for his college radio station. Reve has been talking about what happened to Janie as a child; and he thinks that she won't find out.
Firstly The book was pretty boaring. I didn't like the way that the author kept skipping back and fourth from janie to Reve. I personally thought that Reve's parts were more interesting than Janie's because he was the one talking to people on the radio and living at college. Janie would talk about the future or to her friends wich were boaring.
"The Voice on the Radio" is a sequel to "The Face on the Milk Carton". In my opinion the first book was better. It was more exciting. So I would have to say that I realy Didn't like "The Voice on the Radio".

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good book
Review: If you have read the last 2 books it seems that Reeve is the perfect guy and boyfriend to Janie. But in this book of betrayl proves you wrong.
It is Reeves first year of college and he decides to do the radio. When it is his turn at the mike he has nothing to say. All of the sudden he blurts out Janie and tells her story. The show becomes a hit. Will Janie find out? This book was good not as good as the first 2.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE VOICE ON THE RADIO
Review: THIS IS A VERY ECXITING BOOK! I LOVED IT BECUASE CARIOINE B COONEY PUT SO MUCH ENTHUSIASIM INTO THE BOOK. SHE WAS VERY DESCRIPTIVE. YOU COULD ACTAULLY THINK YOU WERE LISTING TO REEVE ON THE RADIO. I PICTURED EVERY DETAIL IN WHAT JANIE WAS WEARING AND WHAT REEVE WAS SAYING. SHE LEFT ME SCREAMING FOR MORE! WHEN I FINISHED THE FIRST BOOK I LOOKED ALL OVER MY SCHOOL, HOUSE AND LIBARIES UNTIL I FOUND THE SECOND ONE. THEN I HAD TO FIND THE THIRD ONE!I THINK SHE SHOULD WRITE MORE BOOKS UNTIL SHE FINISHES EXPLAINING WHAT HAPPENS TO REEVE, JANIE, AND BOTH SETS OF JANIE'S PARENTS!! PLEASE WRITE MORE!! I RECOMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE! THANX!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Reeve tellls all
Review: This is the third book in the Milk Carton series. While at college in Boston, Janie's boyfriend, Reeve begins to work at the college's radio station. Where Reeve begins to tell Janie/Jennie's story. He tells them in segments calld "janie's". Then Janie/Jennie is in Boston with her sister, Jodie and her brother, Brian, and they turn on the radio and hear one of Reeve's janie's. Will this be the end of Janie/Jennie and Reeve?

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: In The Middle
Review: In the beginning of the book it was very confusing. I think the author needs to be clearer about what's going on with the characters. Too many characters get introduced all at once and I couldn't keep track of what was going on with each one. Towards the middle of the book I understood it better and everything began to make sense. Any parents who are thinking about reading this book shouldn't bother because adults wouldn't be interested in the events involved in the plot. I wasn't interested in the book at all but my thirteen-year-old son seemed to like it; but he had said it wasn't one of the best. The reason this book is poor is because a lot of the character traits about Hannah were unknown and I didn't get to know any of the characters and what some of them were feeling when certain events had happened to them. The beginning doesn't flow with the ending of the story. I felt it wasn't worth my time but if your really into mystery then give it a try!

Rating: 5 stars
