Book Description:
No one ever really paid close attention to the faces of the missing children on the milk cartons. But as Janie Johnson glanced at the face of the ordinary little girl with her hair in tight pigtails, wearing a dress with a narrow white collar--a three-year-old who had been kidnapped twelve years before from a shopping mall in New Jersey--she felt overcome with shock. She recognized that little girl--it was she. How could it possibly be true?
Janie can't believe that her loving parents kidnapped her, but as she begins to piece things together, nothing makes sense. Something is terribly wrong. Are Mr. and Mrs. Johnson really Janie's parents? And if not, who is Janie Johnson, and what really happened?

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 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.

I've seen the movie based on this book and the sequel. The book was a fast read but well-written. And it leaves off on a cliffhanger, so you might want to make sure you have the next book before starting this one.

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.
I have read this book over 5 times, it is very intersting and I just could not put it down. I also shared the books with my coworkers and they also agreed that out of the 4 books this is the best.
