Are her parents her real parents, or was she kidnapped as a young child? From the Publisher No one ever really paid close attention to the faces of the missing children on the milk cartons. But as Janie Johnson glanced at the face of the ordinary little girl with her hair in tight pigtails, wearing a dress with a narrow white collar--a three-year-old who had been kidnapped twelve years before from a shopping mall in New Jersey--she felt overcome with shock. She recognized that little girl--it was she. How could it possibly be true? Janie can’t believe that her loving parents kidnapped her, but as she begins to piece things together, nothing makes sense. Something is terribly wrong. Are Mr. and Mrs. Johnson really Janie’s parents? And if not, who is Janie Johnson, and what really happened? Author Interviews Caroline Cooney was born in 1947 and grew up in Old Greenwich, Connecticut. An excellent student and ambitious youth, she loved school and was involved in many different activities. By the time she was in tenth grade, Cooney played the piano for musical productions, directed a choir, and had a job as a church organist. Always an avid reader, Cooney often read series books such as The Hardy Boys and Cherry Ames . These characters had a big influence on her life and in fact, she says " Cherry Ames, Student Nurse , was my reason to go to nursing school in Boston later in life."

Cooney graduated from Greenwich High School in 1965 and attended various colleges, where she studied music, art, and English. It was in college that she began writing, and discovered a talent and joy in what would become an award-winning writing career. Cooney professes, "I love writing and do not know why it is considered such a difficult, agonizing profession. I love all of it, thinking up the plots, getting to know the kids in the story, their parents, backyards, pizza toppings."

Cooney’s love of writing for young adults is clearly demonstrated in her numerous celebrated novels including: Driver’s Ed (An ALA Best Book for Young Adults, an ALA Quick Pick for Young Adults, and a Booklist Editors’ Choice), Among Friends (A New York Public Library Books for the Teen Age), Twenty Pageants Later (An ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers), and the time travel novels, Both Sides of Time and Out of Time . She is a master of mixing spellbinding suspense with thought-provoking insight into teenagers’ lives.

Among Cooney’s most popular books are the bestselling novels The Face on the Milk Carton, Whatever Happened to Janie? and The Voice on the Radio . These gripping novels tell the story of Janie Johnson, a young girl who recognizes herself in a picture of a missing child on a milk carton, and subsequently unravels a complicated history of abduction, fear and deceit. To satisfy the hundreds of fans wanting to know more, Cooney concluded Janie’s captivating story with What Janie Found , a gripping novel of betrayal.

Reviewer: Alyssa from Nova Scotia Date: 10/20/2002 8:02:50 PM This book is very exciting and you're glued to it the whole way through! Once I finished it I new I had to read the other three books! You really get attached to Janie Johnson and it is well worth reading! If you read it you should read the other three! It feels like it could really happen and that your in the story! 2. soooo good Reviewer: Amanda from brampton/ontario Date: 12/8/2000 8:16:52 AM This book was amazing. You could feel what Janie was thinking, and you would obviously know how hard her choices were. It was suspenseful, and you don't know what would happen next. I couldn't put it down. When I found out there were sequels, I had to read them too, I had to know what happened to her. Its great, you have to read it. 3. The Milk Carton Phenomenon Reviewer: Evan from Calgary Alberta Date: 9/10/2000 7:57:22 PM This book was a Excellent choice for myself. The author was very original of creating such a massive novel. First, A young girl around 15, found a milk carton with a missing face on it. She realised that the face was hers. The book has a shocking ending with 3 more sequals to finish it. I just loved the idea and thats why I gave a 5 star rank. 4. One of the BEST books I'v EVER read!

A Book To Remember Reviewer: Megan from Ont. Date: 7/10/2000 5:22:42 PM EXCELLENT! That could be the only word to describe this EXCELLENT book.
