The Face on the Milk Carton by Caroline B. Cooney

4.0

---

Janie Johnson is having a regular high school day. She and her friends laugh about the kids whose pictures adorn the school lunch milk cartons. What a surprise, then, when Janie sees HER OWN FACE there. She remembers that picture and the dress she was wearing. She carefully tears the picture from the carton and stows it away. It's almost all she can think about as she goes through her day, not understanding why HER FACE would be on the carton. But when she begins to have flashback visions she begins to realize it must be so. But then, that would make her wonderful parents kidnappers...can that be? Janie struggles to decide if she should pursue the matter, while realizing she can't forgot or stop herself, either.

A very interesting look at a possible story for those pictures we all see of missing children...

Young Adult/Teen realistic fiction.
