In the vein of psychological thrillers like We Were Liars, Girl on the Train, and Beware That Girl, bestselling author Caroline Cooney's Janie series delivers on every level.
Mystery and suspense blend seamlessly with issues of family, friendship and love to offer an emotionally evocative thrill ride of a read.
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 her parents? And if not, who is Janie Johnson, and what really happened?

      When fifteen-year-old Janie Johnson recognizes herself in a picture of a kidnapped three-year-old on a milk carton, she begins to have disturbing memories and to search for the truth about her past. Jodi Benson, who is the voice of Ariel in Disney's "The Little Mermaid," flawlessly conveys the emotions of Janie, her family and friends. She is perfectly suited to perform this popular young adult novel. The conflict, suspense and inner turmoil which affect Janie's daily life are conveyed in a production sure to be popular with young adults as well as older listeners. M.A.M.

      Imagine the school cafeteria: bright lights, frenzied voices, smells of fresh pickles and chocolate chip cookies. Janie experiences it all one minute; the next, it fades as her world shrinks to the two-inch face on her milk carton, the face of a missing child, her 3-year-old face. Alyssa Bresnahan offers an energetic reading, breaking into song with the back row of boys in Mr. Brilow's English class. With her characteristically accentuated verbs, protracted adjectives and deliberate pauses, Bresnahan takes us on the tumble of emotions that is Janie's trip from the high school lunch room to the truth about her identity.
