The Face on the Milk Carton
by Caroline B. Cooney
I've had this series on my shelf for several years, because all the books were really cheap ( like $.25 or $.50) at a book sale a long time ago. Plus this was on my teachers shelves in middle school and I almost picked it up but chose The Giver instead. So I've been seeing this book around for over half my life, and since they've been on my shelves, I decide "it's time to pick it up." And I'm glad I did. This is a short novel so it's really easy and quick to read. It was obvious that this was a YA because of the simplified writing. But I still found that I really enjoyed it.
I've never seen the movie, but I knew that it was about a girl who finds her face on a milk carton and finds out that she had been kidnapped at 3 years old. I am interested in stories and topics like these which is what made me want to pick it up. And really, I enjoyed it. I was able to finish it in just a few hours, both because it was an easy read and because the story intrigued me. I will definitely be continuing with the rest of the series, except maybe the most recently released one which I don't own, the 5th one, depending on how I feel the story ended with the 4th. I want to watch the movie too, to see how similar it is to the book.
The book has a good premise, and it keeps you on your feet wondering whats next, but if you can't handle really simplified, almost childish writing, I wouldn't suggest this. That type of writing usually bugs me, but for this book, it was okay and actually worked well. I would recommend this for anyone who likes suspense and thriller and who wants to be able to read a book quickly.
