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.
