it was ok
bookshelves: young-adult

Rather contrived plot,it struck me as being the literary equivalent of a paint-by-numbers picture. It was almost as though the author sketched an outline and then proceeded to fill in the blanks (I know English teachers always harp about pre-writing with an outline but who really does that?)Besides, milk cartons haven't featured photographs of missing children for years so it is unlikely the current teen audience would grasp the reference.

Nyasha i understood it just fine and for your information at school they have pictures on our milk cartons,so i don't understand your arguement at all.


Sophia They don't have pictures of missing children on the milk cartons at my school, but I had seen pictures of missing children at the supermarket, so I got it...

Jen Well, it was written back in the 90s. We've made a lot of progress since then.


Michelle Hmm, maybe comprehend when the book was written. Most people reading the book do understand milk cartons had missing kids pictures on them.
