This is a book that is filled with emotion, drama, surprises, and suspense. Janie is finding out about her past, while living in the present. The missing girl on the milk carton- well, Janie thinks that it is she. All of a sudden, she can't think or sleep, and memories of when she was little start to come back to her. Part way through the book you begin to imagine what is going to happen, but then the author throws in more twists and turns to keep you guessing and imaging the outcome.

The Face on the Milk Carton is about Janie, a girl who eats the same lunch everyday - a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a small carton of milk.  Janie always looks at the back of the carton to see the picture of the missing child. One day when Janie flips the carton over she sees a picture of herself as a little girl. Janie goes to her mom and asks to see her birth certificate. Her mom asks why Janie wants to see it. Janie makes up a little white lie, but her mom still does not show her the certificate.

To find out who that girl is on the back of the milk carton, read this book. I recommend it to people who like mysteries and suspense.

Spring 2001

Janie Johnson was living a normal life until she saw the picture on the milk carton. The person on the carton was Jamie. How could this be? Her parents never told her about this. Mr. And Mrs. Johnson aren’t the kidnapping type. Are they really Janie’s parents? If not, what really happened to Janie? Who is she?

Fall 2000

The main characters in The Face on the Milk Carton were Janie Johnston, Janie’s parents and Reeve. 

One morning Janie was eating lunch, looked on a milk carton and found out that she was kidnapped. How could Janie live through her life when she was kidnapped and never notice? That was Janie’s question. Janie keeps getting more and more confused as more strange events take place during the story. How will this book turn out? You’ll have to read it to find out. 

I thought that this was an excellent book because the chapters were all very suspenseful, and that made it hard to stop reading. I thought this was a superior book, and if you want to see if you like it as much as I did, then you should read The Face on the Milk Carton.

It was the red hair, two ponytails, and that awfully itchy collar of that turtle neck, all there on the side of the milk carton that said, "Missing." That locked box in the attic, the locked drawer in the desk, the missing birth certificate, the shopping mall in New Jersey, these are only some of the things mixed up in Janie Johnson’s life. As memories started to come back more questions arose. Did she give up her family for an ice cream cone? Are her parents kidnappers? Does she have a second life? Read The Face on the Milk Carton to unwind the twisted tale of Janie Johnson, or is it Javensen?
