Product 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?

The Face on the Milk Carton

The Face on the Milk Carton is about a teenage girl, named Janie who is having a normal day at school, when she decides to look on the back of the carton at the missing people. She finds herself shocked, questioning if the picture of the little girl, might be her. She tries avoiding it, but it doesn't work, so she sets her mind to figuring out this mystery throughout the story. While stuck trying to figure this mystery out, she forms a relationship with her neighbor Reeve.
I rated this book four stars, because throughout the book, you just want to keep reading and never put it down. There are lots of shocking and surprising parts to this story, and you won't believe the ending!
-Followed by Whatever happened to Janie, and the Voice on the Radio.

The Face on the Milk Carton

Pretty Good

I remember reading this when I was 10 or 11 - 8 years ago. I don't remember everything to the T because it's been a while. But I do remember enjoying it thoroughly, and while a lot of reviewers are saying that the content is inappropriate, I didn't think so. I was a very sheltered child, and this book did not scar, confuse, or bother me in any way. Just thought I should throw that out there.

Face on the Milk Carton

I can't imagine what it would be like to one day see a missing child picture on a milk carton and find out it's YOU! Filled with suspense and drama and what the Johnson's are going to do, the Face on the Milk Carton is a must read.

Best book ever

It was a wonderful book. there was a lot of detail to descibe the cherecters. It was also a cliff hanger which I loved about the book, and other books. It also had a little over romance, which droped my rating by .5, but there isnt a 4.5 option so I settled for 5. The romance enhanced the book, but not what happened when Janie and Reeve almost did going home from New Jersey. Yet, I cant imagine the book without Reeve. Other than that it was a fabolous book.
