Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

A milk carton portrait causes a 15-year-old girl to question her true identity; citing the novel's "strong characterizations and suspenseful, impeccably paced action," PW added, "The roller-coaster ride Jane experiences with her emotions is both absorbing and convincing." Ages 12-up.

From School Library Journal

Grade 7-10-Alyssa Bresnahan brings to life the character of 15-year-old Janie Johnson, a teenager whose typical angst is compounded when she discovers her picture on a milk carton as a missing child. Searching for the truth behind the kidnapping consumes Janie as she tries to maintain the balance between the craziness of her discovery and the teenage world of school, dates, and friends. Bresnahan deftly portrays each character, creating a unique voice for each. The sense of terror that develops in Janie is exhibited by the rising tension in the narrator's voice. Read equally well is the part of Janie's parents-their voices changing during the course of the story from professional and upbeat to wary and defeated. The progression of the characters complements the piece nicely. While the pace of the recording remains steady, it is slightly too slow and tedious at times to accompany this suspenseful tale. However, this does not outweigh the value of Caroline B. Cooney's excellent story (BDD, 1996) which has been a favorite read for young teenagers, an IRA-CBC Children's Choice Book, and the subject of a television special. The popularity of the book will cause this recording to leap off the shelves.

4.0 out of 5 stars Missing, July 4 2004
By Ritsa (Naperville, Illinois) - See all my reviews
No one ever likes to look at the pictures, of the missing children on milk cartoons. With reality crumbling around every one else in the world. Sickening lessons of cruel people.
Are not exactly the kind of thoughts people enjoy to think about.
However, Fourteen year old Janie Johnson. Will soon learn about one of the horrors of the world.

One day while eating lunch with her friends. Janie sees an erie photograph of a three year old with tight pigtails.
While staring at it Janie realizes that it is her.
A three year old girl named Jennie
Spring had been kidnapped at a shopping mall in New Jersey, twelve years ago.
Janie had all ways felt something off with her parents.

She all ways felt like she never really looked like them. Her mom was often funny when it came to medical papers, and letting her learn how to drive.
Now as Janie starts to learn the horrible truth of her childhood. She soon learns what happened between the time she was three years old and now.

Why her parents do not have any photos of her as a baby.
Why they have no cloths for her when she was a baby.
Janie learns that she is not a Johnson at all. But a completely different girl, who she hasn't been for twelve years.

This, in my honest opinion, is Caroline B. Cooney's best novel to date. It received the most recognition out of all of her work and began the quartet of Janie books. Read more
