Summary: Wonderful

Summary: Glad I waited for the paperback!
Review: I really think Ms. Cooney should have stopped after "Whatever Happened to Janie?" because "The Voice on the Radio" was bad and "What Janie Found" is worse. A previous reviewer was correct when they said that this latest book had too many different points of views. I would have given anything to get into Janie's head and stayed there, but unfortunately that did not happen. Also, it was just so boring and mindless. What was the point? I just think this could have been done so much better even though I would not have minded if it hadn't been done at all.

Summary: Should she keep his secret or confront her captor?
Review: Fans of Face On The Milk Carton and Cooney's related novels about a teen who discovers she was stolen as a baby will appreciate What Janie Found, which continues the story. Here Janie has discovered keys to her kidnapper's location even as her beloved father is endangered by a heart attack. Should she keep his secret or confront her captor?

Summary: The End
Review: Well to tell you the truth this book was not as good as the other 3 untill the end . The ending makes this book worth while. It could not have been a better ending . I always wondered how Hannah looks or talks or thinks and I'm Glad I'll never know. this book stays true to the fact that Friends and family are all the same. A great ending like this one erases every crummy part of this book. It's all good now.

Summary: Not as great...
Review: I read this book last year, so I don't remember everything about it, except that it wasn't as great as the other books in the series. But this is a must read if you want to find out what happened to Janie's mother. Only read this if you have read the other books in the series.

Summary: Ashley's Review
Review: This was a good book for the most part. I didn't really like the ending. The plot and themes could have been made a little easier to understand. But the details, events, and descriptions were very good!

Summary: Tamer and Safer than the others in the series
Review: Caroline Cooney's Janie series was smarter and more imaginative than a lot of the usual fare served up to teenage girls. So it's a real letdown to see her blow it in this completion to the series. It's still a good book on its own and deserves three stars. However, it resolves the problems and questions brought up by the other books in the tamest and safest way possible. Readers can see the ending coming about a hundred pages away-- with Cooney hammering away at the "families are more important than your own feelings or need to know anything" theme, there was no other way it could end. It was all very appropriate for Reader's Digest, Hallmark, or an ABC Afterschool Special, but it sold the Janie character short, strongly implying that her even attempting to find out more about the kidnapper was a selfish character flaw. I hope there is at least one more book in this series, because resolving the entire plot in this way feels both manipulative and unfinished.

Summary: Great Book, But I would Have Changed the Ending
Review: What Janie Found is overall a good book. I enjoyed reading it because I loved the other 3 books in The Face on the Milk Carton. It was a fairly decent clousure but I wished the ending was different and better cause I am still wondering what else happened to Janie. All in All I recommend reading this book if you are looking for some closure to the Janie books.

Summary: More Please
Review: I just want anyone who reads this review to know that I LOVE the Janie series and What Janie Found is no exception. It is a spellbinding tale just like the others and i really enjoyed it. And I hope that Mrs.Cooney will write many many more about Janie and her families. So if u haven't read What Janie Found or any of the other Janie books u have to go out right now and find one. I gaurantee u will love them.
