In the 1900s, police put the faces of missing children on milk cartons. Fifteen year old, Janie Johnson, recognizes the girl on the milk carton–it’s her. The girl’s name is Jennie Spring, kidnapped from a shopping mall in new jersey twelve years ago, when she was three.

Janie doubts that her wonderful parents could have kidnapped her, so she investigates on her own. Janie notices that her parents don’t have any pictures of her under the age of four. They also refuse to show her her birth certificate, and she does not have a passport. In her attic she finds a box full of things labeled H, and a dress. The dress the girl on the milk carton was wearing.

Finally, she asks her parents what is going on, and they say that they are actually her grandparents, and that her mother, their daughter, was named Hannah. Hannah joined a cult, and years later brought Jane to them and asked them to care for her. They say nothing about the milk carton. She drives to the springs house and sees two kids walking into their house, they had the same hair as hers.

Janie gets the courage to ask her parents about the milk carton, and they find that Janie was not Hanna’s daughter, and she had kidnapped her and called her hers. They call the Springs, and talk to the court, who tells them that Janie must go back to the Springs……….

This book is amazing and mysterious, the ending was a huge surprise to me. Though it is not very humorous, you can find yourself not able to stop reading. I recommend this book to someone who likes when a book ends on a cliffhanger. I recommend reading this book and the rest if the series, the next book is called Whatever happened to Janie?
