Jane Johnson has been kidnapped. She does not know why or how but she has been kidnapped. If only she did not take that sip of milk and find her face on that milk carton. Right from the moment she finds herself on that carton, she turns into a train wreck and the suspense builds up until the end. When I read this book, I felt mad, happy, and even at some points I was sad. The most exciting part is when she explodes at her parents, confusing is the end, and interesting is all the encounters she has with reeve. Connections I could make to the world are that many people even today are still being kidnapped, and they might not even know, just like Janie. In the end, this book is very very good, and I would recommend it. [Philip]

At the age of 3, Janie Johnson had been kidnapped in New Jersey, on the milk carton she notices a girl missing, that girl had been her, she had noticed her dress, but nobody believed her. She has mental breakdowns and cannot concentrate properly, she is now wondering if she should try and find her real parents, or stay with her fake parents. The most exiting part of the story was when Janie and Reeve drove to New Jersey to try and find her real mother. As i read the book i had many different feelings. Sad, mad, happy, shocked, and very confused. Connections i can make to this story are how many people in the world are being kidnapped and may not even know because they got kidnapped at such a young age just like Janie. ( Shyeem )

Janie Johnson is now almost 16, about to get her license, but she has lately been lets say "confused" about her family... Janie had drunken from a milk carton that has a picture of a 3 year old girl, who looks quite alot like Janie wearing Janie's dress. This makes her expect that it was once her, considering her family has no pictures of her before the age of 5, and no birth certificate. Janie has had a lot of breakdowns in this book, most about family. But, while all this family stuff is going on, she is still struggling in a relationship with Reeve "The boy next door" The most exciting part of this book, is when Janie and Reeve go to New Jersey, to try to find Janie' real mother.. As I read this book, I was very confused, there was a lot happening at one time... At some points, I was very happy, others very sad.. mostly all confusing.. ( ~ Taylor)

Janie isa girl that finds out that she was kidnapped and then she goes out looking for her real parents and it was a really great book (Bradworth)

_ I felt excited as I read the book, especially when Janie asks her parents why her parents don't let her see her birth certificate and apparently Arezou decided to end the reading when it was on that chapter, so i had to wait a long time for that (o lord Sean) _ Jennie Spring was kidnapped from a shopping center 12 years ago. When Janie Johnson sees that little girl on a milk carton she sees that's her and she realizes that her parents kidnapped her. So she confronts her parents and they say she is their granddaughter but she still worries about the milk carton. Later they find out that Hannah the Johnson's real daughter kidnapped Janie. Also in this book you read about Reeve and Janie's relationship and the ups and downs that go with it. Then the book ends with Janie calling her real parents. The most exciting part was all the parts when she finds out more about her kidnapping. When I read this book I felt interested, confused and frustrated whenever we stopped. A connection I made to the world was there are actually so many people that are kidnapped but sometimes it's way worse than the book and I agree with Taylor about how most of the time I was confused. [Arezou]

Janie Johnson sees a girl named Jennie Spring on a milk carton that was kidnapped from a shopping mall in New Jersey 12 years ago. Janie recognizes the girl and realizes it's her. When Janie confronts her parents they say she is their granddaughter and tell her about Hannah and her joinng the cult. Janie thinks it still doesn't add up so she talks to Reeve about it. The most exciting part for me is when Janie and Reeve go to New Jersey to find her real family. When I read this book I felt confused, and I thought it was interesting. A connection i made to the world is that many young kids are getting kidnapped but they don't realize it. I agree with what Arezou said about the connection to the world. [Cynthia]

Janie Johnson got kidnapped at the age of 3 and found out when one of her friends was drinking out of a missing children milk carton and she saw herself. When she ask her parents about this they tell her that they are her granparents. The most exciting part for me was when she finds out more about her kidnapping that was interesting. When i read this book i thought it was interesting. A connection i made is a lot of people are getting kidnapped and thats scary not that many people care but they should what if it was one of their kids getting kidnapped then they would care. I agree with what Arezou said the book was interesting and confusing. (Michelle)

Janie Johnson has been kidnapped at age 3, she doesn't remember ANYTHING, she later finds out that actually, her "parents" are really her grandparents, she is upset and goes to look for her real mom, Hannah. I agree with Arezou's connection to the world. (Lord Zachary)

JanieJonstone got kidnapped at the age of three she doesn't know, till twelve years later when shes eating her peanut butter and jelly sandwich until she grabs a milk carton and on the back it says JANIE JONSTONE has been kidnapped 12 years ago now shes wondering if her parents are her really parents theres a lot of suspense but don't let me stop you. this book is awesome and some of the connections i had were that on the news a 9 year old boy got kidnapped and it kind of reminds of janie when she was 3 (alejandro)

The story talks about a girl who is called Janie and is 15 years old and she have allergy from milk which was a lie by her parents so she don't see the kidnapped pictures. Then she drank her friend's milk and by accident she found her picture on the kidnapping part. She knew that she was kidnapped when she was 3 years old and she starts to remember stuff from the past. Janie also falls in Love with Reeve her neighbor and they kiss and break up and they kiss again. Janie everyday thinks of her parents in New Jersey and then the story goes on and on. The most exciting part is the ending because it really forces you to read the other part of the book. There was really no boring part except the beginning. The sadest part is when Reeve broke up with Janie. When I read the book I really wanted to reach the ending so I know how is it going to end ,and I didn't expect it to end like that.

Text to self : I connect this to my self because when Janie's letter was sent by accident it reminds me of myself when I sit on Facebook I really send so many messages by accident as like Janie when she send the letter by accident.

Text to World: I connect Reeve and Janie when they broke up like so many people who break up for some stupid reasons, and so any people do that.

The Face on the Milk Carton is about a girl named Janie Johnson who is almost 16 about to get her license. At school she had drunken from a milk carton that had a picture of a girl who is 3 and was said to be kidnapped. Janie thinks the 3 year old is her. Throught the book she discovers more and more about her real family and how she is kidnapped, while having a realtionship with her next door neighboor Reeve. I say that the most interesting parts are when she figures out more and more about her real family, exciting parts are when she has her encounters with Reeve, and confusing parts are also her family/kidnapping story. I had alot of different emotions throught the book like, angry, confused, excited, and sometimes sad too. I say this book had mixed emotions.

Connections: Text to Self: When Janie has her mental breakdowns throught the book it reminds me of my self when I have mental breakdowns about my family, but its not like I have been kidnapped, just the thought of family issues!

Text to World: Many children of the world have been kidnapped and do not even notice it today, just like Janie. It doesn't matter how, it just happens like that. I agree with everyone who ether had the same world connection as me or something similer (which is pretty much everyone), because its soooo ture.

This book was about a 16 year old girl named Janie Jonstone and she got kidnapped at the age of 3 in New Jersey at a store, and she has a milk carton at school and sees a littlee girl on it thats missing and she recognizes that girl to be her, but her name on the milk carton was Jennie Spring so now Janie is wondering who her real parents are and trying to find out this whole situation The most interesting thing in this book was when janie found out that she was kidnapped and trying to find her real parents and yea. When i read this book i felt really into it because it was very interesting and at many parts i didnt want to stop reading but i had to stop, but i felt real into the book and suprised because janie got kidnapped and didnt know about it all her life. text to world: my connections are sometimes when i watch the news with my mom it shows pictures of missing kids and in this case janie got kidnapped. text to text: my parents have lied to me before for good reasons and in this case janies parents also lie to her about not telling her about the kidnapping and telling her that there her real parents when they arnt. **(Fanoula)**
