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?

wow i wanna read dis book sop baaaaaaad

I LOVE THIS BOOK! It was scary and interesting at the same time. I read it in class with my friend, and we both loved it. We cannot find the other ones in the series, though. If you have a lot of free time, or you are just looking for a suspenseful book, this is a great read for you! 5 stars.

The genre of this book was horror, mystery, suspense, with a hint of comedy, and a pint of romance. I recommend this book for anyone one who's looking for a thrill and has a whole lot of free time. Trust me. Once you get past the first 3 chapters, you won't stop 'till you've finished the entire series.

I really want to read this book! Sounds so interesting! Do you think an advanced 7th grader would be an okay age for this? Thanks for anyone who replies! *runs off in excitement to file book into reading list*
