Summary: What Janie Found
Review: "What Janie Found" was one of the 3 sequels to the book "The Face on the Milk Carton". It is once again about Janie. Some other characters are Reeve, Janie's ex-boyfriend, Mrs. Johnson, Janie's "mother", Stephen, Janie's older brother, and Brian, Janie's other, younger, brother. This time, Janie's father as had a heart attack / stroke and is in the hospital while Janie handles the buisness afairs. Janie finds something that she wants to get to the bottom of, something having to do with H.J. A foulder (dun, dun, dun!). Now Janie goes to Blouder, NC to do some work while "visiting" her brother, Stephen. She goes with Reeve and Brian. They meet Stephen there (because that's where he goes to college) and he's with his annoying girl friend, Katherine, who always wants to know more about Janie and what happened with the kidnapping. I think the book "What Janie Found" was a very good book becuase once again, Caroline B. Cooney brings the character of Janie alive for ME. She makes Janie fun to read about, too. I think that anyone who likes the idea of suspence and reading should read this book because it is very suspenceful and the end of the chapters makes you want to read more and more. :) reading "What Janie Found" was fun for me...I liked the book very much and I think you should read it, too!

Summary: Disappointing
Review: This book does a lot of talking and never really gets anywhere, and Janie does an awful lot of running around in her own head which is interesting at first but quickly becomes tedious. No, Janie, you are not being selfish in wanting to confront your kidnapper. All four books, for that matter, were ridiculous in their insistence that Janie 's collapse into herself was a selfish and childish preoccupation. Mental breakdowns after great trauma can't be considered selfish, in my opinion. It's beyond me why Stephen doesn't break up with his girlfriend after that disastrous dinner with her FBI father. I didn't agree with Janie's final decision. Her father gave the money in installments so that Hannah wouldn't burn through it. Give it to her all at once and she'll use it all up at once, then she'll be back in their lives wanting more. Janie kept insisting that her father's payments to Hannah were a betrayal. "He's supporting my kidnapper!" No, honey, he's supporting his daughter. I would have like to see a conclusion that included acceptance of the situation, understanding that the kidnapping, while horrible, also resulted in good - it gave Frank and Miranda a daughter who loves them and gave Janie two families who love her.

Summary: UM..............
Review: I'm sorry but this book was VERY disppointed. I read all the other Janie books and would have rated them 4 or 5 stars but this one was horrible. It was boring and any suspense that Caroline B. Cooney did put into it led to apsolutely NOTHING!
If you have read all the other Janie books and want to read the conclusion book, go right ahead. But I'm warning you, it's not all that great.

Summary: What did Janie find?
Review: "What Janie Found" is another good book in "The Face on the Milk Carton" series, but I don't think the series should be over yet!The series starts in "The Face on the Milk Carton" when Janie finds that she was kidnapped as a child, by her "parents'" daughter. Then, in "Whatever Happened to Janie?" she tried living with her birth family. Her boyfriend, Reeve, betrayed her by telling her story on his radio show, in "The Voice on the Radio, and now, in this book, there is another turn of events. When Janie's "father" has a heart attack and a stroke, she helps out by becoming his secretary and sorting his bills. However, she notices a simple folder labled "HJ". "Hannah Johnson", she immediately knows, and she wants to find out why there is a folder for her. She thought Hannah was dead and free from hurting them again, forever! This was a good book, though rather short and unfinished, compared to the other books in the series. I'd recommend it to any young adult fan of these books, however! Be sure to read the others in the series, first, and you may also enjoy the TV movie, "The Face on the Milk Carton".

Summary: this book was a disappointment!
Review: STOP IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE MILK CARTON SERIES UP UNTIL THE FOURTH BOOK! IT WILL SPOIL THE BOOKS! I loved the first three books in the milk carton series and was eagerly anticipating this book. but when i got it, i found it lacked the entertaining theme of the first three. i got bored and had to force myself to read it to the end (in case it all of the sudden got interesting). the ending was ok, but not thrilling like the others. i also see that the character focus of the books has changed. in "the face on the milk carton", it was all about janie and her story, all from her point of view. slowly, the books introduce new characters: the springs and, in this book, stephen's girlfriend. the point of view changes almost every chapter in this book. i feel like it's not really about janie anymore, it's about her situation and the people involved in it. it doesn't feel like a conclusion, and i encourage anybody who has read the series so far not to read this book. "the voice on the radio" was a better ending than this.

Summary: not a good book
Review: Sorry, I didn't really like this book very much. I have read all the books in the Janie series and they were all great--except this one. The beginning was rather good, but I didn't like that all the suspenses led to nothing. Cooney should have made a MUCH better ending to this book, the conclusion to the series. While I was reading this book, there were many things that I wondered about that I didn't find the answers to in the book. Sorry, I don't recommend this book, only if you want to read the whole series about Janie.

Summary: what janie finds
Review: This last and final book is the Brilliance of the series! Janie's Father has a stroke and Janie has to do the bills when in her fathers file cabinet she sees a folder with the letter's HJ. That could mean only one thing Hannah Javenson. When Janie finally looks in the folder she finds out the truth. Hannah her kidnapper is living in BOULDER, COLORADO, her father has been sending her money. So then Janie asked her mother if she could go to COLORADO to vist Stephen who is going to college there. Her mother says yes so Reeve and Brain tag along with her to find Hannah. The one thing is that they told Stephen that they wanted to spend the summer with him(well thats a bit wronge). Will she succeed, find out in this conclusion to the series. You wouldn't of guessed what happens.

Summary: It's not over til' it's over!
Review: Caroline B. Cooney has done it again with another sequel to the story of Janie's life with her book, "What Janie Found." Janie's life is beginning to run smoothly for her and her two families. She begins to talk to her ex-boyfriend, Reeve. Janie's brother, Stephen, is now in college in Colorado and is happy to be away from his family and away from the past that used to be so controlling and stressful during his childhood. Everything is turning around until Janie's Connecticut father suffers a stroke and is now in the hospital fighting for his life.
This disaster destroys Janie's mother, and Janie is forced to take care of the finances and also take care of her emotional mother. While she and her mother are going through old files, Janie comes upon a folder that is in the Paid Bills file. She looks inside and the folder reveals a secret that Janie's father had been hiding for all these years. Can Janie ever forgive her father? Should she move on and pretend nothing happened?
This book was defiantly worth reading because it concludes the whole story of Janie's struggle in recovering from the incident of the milk carton. I loved this book because Janie and her New Jersey family really begin to bond and learn to love each other no matter what the circumstances.
I would recommend this book to all of the Caroline B. Cooney fans and also to all of the readers of the Janie books. This book I highly recommend to all teenagers because this book goes over everyday situations that can help others understand and cope with everyday problems and decisions.

Summary: This book was okay......... if it has to be
Review: Eveyone says that The Face On The Milk Carton Series is soooo good. Well I really don't know. The fist book that I read of caroline b. cooney's was the face on the milk carton. it was good but now i am off my point. what janie found was ok. i would rather caroline b. cooney stick to the mystery/horror type. these are just boring. in what janie found there wasn't much suspense. at first i was like: well its the beginning and it will get better. man, was i wrong. at the end it got a tiny bit better but it was still boring. all janie did was think in her head. she didn't actually do anything. if you want my opinion save your time. read Wanted!, Hush little baby and those before you read these because they will just make you think that caroline b. cooney is a bad author when really she is a great author when she sticks to mystery/ horror.
