Summary: The Great Story Called The Face On The Milk Carton
Review: The book The Face on the Milk Carton is really good. It was written by Caroline B. Cooney. The Face on the Milk Carton is the most adventurous book that I have ever read. It is about a girl named Janie who sees an old picture of herself on a milk carton. The carton says that she has been missing for a wile. She shows only her best friend Reeve the milk carton with her picture on it. She told him when they were in a pile of leaves. Then in the leaves they kissed.
The next day Janie asked her parents about the milk carton. The parents told her that they were her grandparents. They said that their daughter Hannah was in a group of people that would let her leave the group. So Hannah left Janie with her parents. The parents also told Janie their last name was Johansson not Johnson. Later in the book, Reeve took Janie to find her mother in New Jersey. That was very adventurous part. When she gets home she will do something so shocking that you won't know what hit you. The book taught me to love my family.
If you like the book The Face on the Milk Carton you will love the next book in the Janie series, Whatever Happened to Janie.

Summary: My Favorite Book
Review: "The Face on the Milk Carton" is a wonderful book full of adventure, mystery, and romance. The heroine Janie Jhonson(A.K.A. Jenny Springs)was eating lunch in the cafeteria when she looks at the Missing child on the back of her milk carton and realizes that the girl looking back up at her is her 12 years ago. Reeve, her neghbor, is the only one who belives her in the beginning. So they team up to solve the mystery.
I think one reason this book is one of my favorites is because it was easy to relate to (not the kidnapping part, but others). For instance the very first line of the book is "Janie had just finished her essay." See everybody writes essays. Don't They?
I would highly reccomend this book to anyone who likes mysteries mixed up with romance and salted with adventure. I also think that it might be over the heads of anyone 9 or younger. Another reason I loved this book was because I got a whole new perspective of the world after I finished the whole series. "The Face on the Milk Carton" is the best book I'v ever read.

Summary: Not Recommended for Younger Readers
Review: Many people beleive The Face on the Milk Carton to be a wonderful book and a good one to have children read. I must disagree very strongly with this. There is mature content all throughout the book, and I find that about 40% of the story is about the main character's mystery and 60% is about her and her boyfriend and how it endourages their behavior. Definitely don't recommend this book for children in elementary school. Middle school girls would really enjoy the book, (I would know, I'm surrounded by them) but parents be warned at some of the content. It's a good idea for a mystery, but in my opinion the story was ruined by other things.

Summary: IS IT JUST ME THAT HATED THIS BOOK??????????
Review: i love caroline b. cooney books. everyone in my class at school was reading the face on the milk carton and they all said that it was a totally great book and that i had to read it. well, i read it. is it only me that does not give this book 5 stars? i hated this book. all janie did was go around and around the situation. sure, it would be a huge, horrible thing and all but get over it. the only part of the book i liked was the last chapter, it left me hanging a bit but the whole like.. let's see..... other 200 pages were horrible. i like caroline b. cooney when she writes any single book but the face on the milk carton series. i absolutely hated this book. okay, so i am making it sound like it is the worst book in the world... it isn't quite that bad. but still, what is the likelihood that a girl sees her face on a milk carton from 12 years ago. i just don't get why ppl love this book so much. can anyone give me 20 reasons why? in my opinion read all of caroline b. cooney's books then read the face on the milk carton series when you have nothing left to read. :)

Summary: The Face on the Orange Juice Carton
Review: I found this book's emotions to be nothing but the bare truth of a tipical teenager's life. At some point in time, everyone goes through that emotional stage,although not always in that same situation. I felt that the story was ended well, because it helped intriugue the reader to follow up on the other books in the series to find out what happeded. I, meself,found it hard not to read all night because of how anxious I was to know what would happen to Janie/Jennie. All in all, The Face on the Milk Carton was an okay book.

Summary: This book is wonderful but not quite a 5 star
Review: The book A Face on a Milk Carton is wonderful by Caroline B. Cooney. If you like a book that keeps you guessing then i am sure you would like this book. But the book is kind of slow in some parts so it may get kind of boring. This book does contain a little to much for the young ones.
When sunddely Janie finds out that she has been kidnaooed by her parents at the age of 3. she doesnt want to say a word to her so called "Parents." well she wants her birth certificate to see if her "Parents" are really her
parents she finds out in her moms office the bottom draws on her desk are lock..... could she be hiding something or what. janie desides she should go into the attic and look inside the old trunk that she had seen once before.well she finds somehting about someone that she may not want to know about... but thats all i can tell you now you should read the book to find more [about] it.

Summary: Caroline B. Cooney- Great Job!
Review: Caroline B. Cooney has written many books in her day, but this is by far my favoirte. The Face on the Milk Carton, is one good read. At the begining, it gets going really fast. Then it talks about the same thing in the middle of the book, which gets totally, wicked, awesomely boring!!! It can be so slow during the part that leads to the climax... But it keeps you going, because you really want to know what happens. BUT OH WELL! The book is a little advanced for younger kids. But when you get to the end it really turns into a page turner. Even though Cooney rushes throught the begining and the middle last forever, the ending is to die for.

Review: The Face on the Milk Carton Laure Leaf, 1991, 184 pp., ... ISBN: 0440220653 What would you do if one day your parents told you that you had been kidnapped when you were younger? How would you feel if for the past fifteen years, your "so called" parents had been lying to you? Janie Johnson was an average fifteen year old girl who lived in Connecticut with her parents who she loved dearly. She also had a great boyfriend that she truly cared about. All changed one day, when her parents told her something they had been hiding from her that would change her life forever. They weren't her real parents.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a mystery and a great book that you won't be able to put down!
