The Face on the Milk Carton

By   Caroline B. Cooney

Age Group: 12+ Years

Description:

No one lingers on milk carton faces—until 15-year-old Janie Johnson spots hers: pigtailed "Jennie Spring," snatched at 3 from a New Jersey mall 12 years prior. Shock ripples as flashbacks clash with her idyllic life—loving parents, no toddler photos, feeble excuses.

Denial crumbles: Are the Johnsons kidnappers? With boyfriend Reeve, Janie unearths clues—a polka-dot dress, cult-linked "Hannah," vanishing memories—sparking identity crisis. Devoted family or stolen past? Truth unravels everything.

"Gripper you can't put down" (Entertainment Weekly)—this YA psychothriller (ages 12+) echoes A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, blending suspense and heart. When your face screams "missing," who are you really?
