Summary: Just What You Expect
Review: This book is about a girl who discovers that she was kidnapped at three years old. It is a very predictable book, however would be a good read for someone who needs to experience a situation like this. It is easy to relate to her in both situations: as the child taken away from the family she's known all her life and also in the role of being a new member of a family of strangers.

Summary: Great sequel to "The Face on the Milk Carton"
Review: "Whatever Happened to Janie?" is a great sequel to "The Face on the Milk Carton", and fans of that book will love this!In the first book, Janie Johnson was just a wealthy, happy teenager living with her loving parents. Then it all changed, when she saw her 3 year old face on a "missing" ad. She got to the bottom of the mystery, but now her birth family wants her to move in with them! Janie, now Jennie, can't believe that she has to leave her "parents", her friends, her boyfriend, her whole life! to move to another state and live with strangers - parents, a sister, and 3 brothers that she doesn't remember. Why can't everyone let things be the way they used to? Will she get used to her "new" family, and will her life ever go back to normal? This was a great addition to the series, and I'd recommend it for ages 12 and up. Be sure to read "The Face on the Milk Carton", "The Voice on the Radio", and What Janie Found". The TV movie, "The Face on the Milk Carton" is pretty good too.

Summary: Stuck in the Middle
Review: In the prequel to this book "The Face on the Milk Carton", Janie finds her picture of her as a little girl on the side of a milk carton. From then on her life is turned upside down. She calls the number on the carton and, in doing so, gives up all chances for a normal life with her beloved parents, or what she THOUGHT were her parents. She finds out that she belongs to another family and has another life. In this sequel Janie/Jennie is brought to her birth family. She is basically forced to fit in in this new environment without her boyfriend, best friend, and most of all, her other parents. Janie doesn't fit in with her new family after being raised as the only child of rich parents. Her siblings look at her with jealously and label her as a spoiled brat. Her birth parents try to love her, and do, but nothing can replace the many years that they have not spent together. Janie can't take it at her new home and pines for her parents - the ones that have nursed her when she was sick, helped her with homework, participated in her life, and been with her as long as she can remember. She can't get rid of that feeling, and yet she's prohibited from any contact with them. Even so, she's determined to return to her beloved parents. GREAT! I'll say that about all four books in this mini-series. All are worth reading, there's no debating that. You can totally identify with Janie, and feel her pain and uncertainty as she is thrown into her new life as Jennie. This is an INCREDIBLY realistic book - a MUST READ!

Summary: Another Modern Classic!
Review: The reader is treated to another leg of Janie's journey in her quest for her identity. Now 15, Janie has been reunited with her natural parents and siblings She has to contend with being a media topic and with her own issues of where and who she really is. The end is a tad disappointing. The Springs were so lovable, so lively, so REAL, that one can't help feeling regret when Janie/Jennie returns to the Johnsons, whose daughter kidnapped her 12 years earlier. Janie's pushy, obnoxious friend Sarah-Charlotte is an interesting foil to Janie's sensible character. This is a worthwhile installment in the Janie series.

Summary: Emotional-hard to put down
Review: After reading "The Face on the Milk Carton" I knew right away that I had to read this book. When I picked it up at the library I began it right away. It was really hard to put down. It's like you're experiencing everything with Janie and her friends and family. You feel how Janie feels and you understand. After finishing this book I knew that if both "The Face on the Milk Carton" and "Whatever Happened to Janie" are this good then all of her books must be this good. I have made it my goal to read all of her books this summer and so far I've done pretty good. If you haven't read this book yet, you should, no matter who you are, I gaurantee that you will LOVE it!

Summary: Whatever happened to suspense?
Review: After reading the first book and liking it I was gravely dissapointed with the sequel to it. Caroline Cooney has been known for her suspense novels but after reading this you would not of thought that. The book is more like a soap opera. A few good chapters here and there but that is about it. This book as convinced me not to read the third and fourth one.

Summary: One Groovy Mystery!
Review: In Whatever Happened to Janie a teenage girl finds out she was kidnapped by Hannah Javenson. Next, she finds out her parents are really her grandparents, or are they? She goes back to her biological parents' house in New Jersey because she is not yet 16 and does not have a choice, so she tries to adjust to the new life style. When she turns 16 who will she go to? Her other parents? I would really REALLY suggest that you read this book. When I read this book, I could hardly put it down. This book puts you in suspense and if I could I would read this book over and over again. I would recommend this book to a friend who likes intellectual thrillers. Whatever Happened to Janie will keep you on the edge of your seat.
