I haven't found a child that didn't like this book :) It is a suspenseful read that isn't too difficult.

Some of us are old enough to remember when the pictures of missing children were featured on milk cartons.

This is the first book in the Janie series, and the only one of the 4 I really enjoyed, although it does leave you with more questions than answers.

I started reading all four books when I was 15 and been reading them over and over again eversince (I'm 23 know), but this one is my favorite. I wish more books put you on the edge like this one. Also Coroline B. Cooney is a great writer. For all ages.

This was not what I was looking for or expecting after having read a basic summary. First there is a whole romantic aspect that I would not have guessed was there. Secondly this is a four part series which according to others goes down hill but in order to reach a some what satisfying you have to read. Thirdly the ending to this book is definetly a cliff hanger. Fourthly it is definetly a young adult book in terms of writing style (e.i. descriptions, length ect) which as a teen I found not to be enough. It does have a good build up and decent plot line but overall I would not have picked it had I known what I was getting into.

I liked this book. I read it a long time ago, but when I did, it had me on the edge of my seat.
