Summary: Mother/daughter book
Review: Natalie, my 16-year old daughter and I had to get two copies of this book, so we would not fight over who read it first. We had read "Face on the Milk Carton" and "Whatever Happened To Janie", so when the "Voice on the Radio" came out, we were both eager to see what happened to Janie. Natalie was indignant. She wrote an e-mail to Caroline Cooney's homepage to complain about twists in the story that she had not anticipated. She gave suggestions to Caroline on how she would like to see the story unfold in the next episode. Natalie does not love to read, so I was happy to see her take such an interest in this book. This is a great little series for a Mother/Daughter read. I'm a media specialist in a middle school and find that young teenage girls love this book. They want to discuss Janie and her problems, and since Janie grows a little older with each installment, the main character remains interesting to the girls as they get older too

Summary: Through Reeve's betrayal, Janie learns about forgiveness.
Review: Reeve, thrilled at the chance to be a college radio shock jock, tells Janie's story on the air; the story she guards as too personal to tell anyone but Reeve; the story readers know from "Face on the Milk Carton" and "Whatever Happened to Janie?" Reeve embellishes that story for his growing radio audience, and readers will enjoy remembering past events and dreading Janie's discovery of Reeve's betrayal. From the first page of "Face..." to the last page of "Voice..." a superb plot holds read

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: An Outstanding Third Book!
Review: This is one of the worst books I've ever read. A boyfriend betrays his girlfriend and tells the story of her childhood kidnapping and her problems of now having two families. She finds out and gets upset. That's it. That's the whole story. Nothing else happens. There's no revenge, no blackmail, no tragic warning, the boy friend doesn't get his comeuppance, there's no crime ring smashed, no serial kidnapper trying to kill the boy. Nothing! There's not even a real ending. This is the worst book I've ever read. How did it get published?
I suppose what this book does do is give inspiration to others that even if you can't write there is some company who will publish your work.
