I read the book The Face On The Milk Carton by Caroline B. Coony. I would
recommend this book because it was really good. It was about a girl named
Jaine who one day at school sees her face on the milk carton as a missing
child. Jaine tries very hard to put it out of her mind but everywhere she
goes she keeps thinking about it. Finialy Janie decided that she might
have been kid kidknapped and that the parents she always loved and trusted
could have kidnapped her. She spends a lot of time trying to cope with
her problems. This book was really good and from a scale that is one to
ten I would give it a perfect ten!!

This book, The Face On The Milk Carton is about a young girl named Janie.
She led a normal life unil one day. One day Janie's mother told her that
she was adopted and her mother ran away. The rest of the book Janie's grandmother
and grandfather who Janie was adopted by uncovers some pretty strange and
unusual things about her terrifying past.
If your into great mysteries I would check out this book because it was
very realistic and a touching story. Its a definate read!

I've this year read the Face On The Milk Cartoon . Mostly the book is
about a girl named Janie Johnson who is trying to figure out if the Johnsons
are here real family or if she was stolen when she was small. The book starts
off describing her setting and herself. She had supposedly saw her self
on the milk cartoons and starts to decide that was her but she puts it away
because she thinks that is not her and that she has lived with the Johnsons
all her life. All through the book she wants to learn more about the Springs
saying they are her parents. She then starts to get these flash backs of
her past and doesn't know what to do. Reeve her boyfriend starts to notice
something about her. She finally tell him but he doesn't believe her at
all. Through the book Janie wants to know about this family she thinks.
Sometimes she gets these flash black of her past. This book basically leaves
you hanging not know what happens to her if she to her family or not from
the beginning to the end. I would recommend this book very much to people
who like personal problems. I liked it because it can happen to any body
plus it was very interesting on dramatic. You'll enjoy this book if you
read it.
