The Face on the Milk Carton MAG

By Anonymous

     Janie Johnson has wonderful parents and friends - the perfect life - until, for the first time in a long time, she has some milk. On the milk carton she finds a picture of her when she was younger; it claims she is missing! She begins to wonder, Would my parents ever kidnap anyone? Have I been living with strangers this whole time? Where and who are my real parents? Janie is determined to find her parents and will do whatever it takes, but there’s not much to help her in the old newspaper articles she finds in the library.

I have read all the books in this series and this is the best and the most suspenseful. The Face on the Milk Carton is a page-turner - I read it in two hours. What made it even more exciting is the location, New Jersey. I always thought of New Jersey as a laid-back state, but once I read this book, I had a whole new opinion. You will really be missing out if you don’t read it.

Yeah I also read this book when I was in middle school--it was good! I liked your review. In just two paragraphs, you caught my attention. The questions in the first paragraph are what I would ask myself if I was in Janie's situation---this makes the reader relate to the book.

I read the book three years ago in reading class, and went of to read the 2nd on my own.  Good review.

OK. I'm reading this right now. It was SO GOOD in the beginning!!!! But Janie's parents [grandparents? creepers posing as such?] just told her about the whole cu.lt explanation, and it just seems like too much of a pat ending to me. :( Are they lying? Someone tell me they're lying!!! Yes, spoilers welcome!!

My librarian recommended that I read this book. I didn't because the librarian didn't spark my interest when she described the book, although I wish I would have read it anyway. You have written a great review and you have made me want to start reading the book at this very second!
