Mystery

Cooney, Caroline B. (1990). The Face on the Milk Carton.  New York, NY: Bantam Books.

I initially chose this book because it is on my son's summer reading list. He decided he would read it too.  The main plot of the novel is kidnapping.  The main character Janie sees herself as a child on the side of a milk carton.  Janie experiences many emotions throughout the book, one of which is love.  This book is appropriate for middle school students.  There are brief sexual comments and interactions, but nothing too serious.  I think girls will be drawn to this book more than boys because it is from a girls perspective.  I liked this book.  It's an easy read and should be great for AR testing.
