Product Description
Thirteen-year-old Jonah has always known that he was adopted, and he's never thought it was any big deal. Then he and a new friend, Chip, who's also adoped, begin receiving mysterious letters. The first one says, "You are one of the missing." The second one says, "Beware! They're coming back to get you."Jonah, Chip, and Jonah's sister, Katherine, are plunged into a mystery that involves the FBI, a vast smuggling operation, an airplane that appeared out of nowhere -- and people who seem to appear and disappear at will. The kids discover they are caught in a battle between two opposing forces that want very different things for Jonah and Chip's lives. Do Jonah and Chip have any choice in the matter? And what should they choose when both alternatives are horrifying? With Found, Margaret Peterson Haddix begins a new series that promises to be every bit as suspenseful as her Shadow Children series -- which has sold more than 41/2 million copies -- and proves her, once again, to be a master of the page-turner.

• Good Start To The Series! 07 June, 2008
Read this book last night and had several reactions. Geeze...wish I had book #2 and am now annoyed that I will have to wait until it's publisher. Yea....summer reading at the library starts Monday and I know of three kids I can recommend this book to so they can get reading for their prizes at the library. Hmmmmm....with 36 orphans on the flight, this series could go some wonderful places in history/time. This book is not a difficult read so it would be good to use with 4th, 5th, and 6th graders who want a light mystery. Hmmmmmm....interesting to see how different parents approach adoption with their children. Fine beginning to the series....can't wait for more stories!

• The Next Pendragon Or Harry Potter? 09 June, 2008
The first thing I noticed when I read this book was that the writing was very suspenseful yet unwilling to give out the slightest hint to what happened making it very mysterious and gripping until the very end.
If you get this book dedicate some time afterwards to theroies of whats going to happen next.

• A Really Entertaining Read 16 July, 2008
I really enjoyed reading this book. I was hesitant to start ANOTHER series, but I am glad I read this one.
The main character Jonah's family gets along well together, something I find refresing after reading many books where the teenager's family is completely dysfunctional, the moms being fussy and annoying, and the dads caring only for football and beer.
This book is somethign akin to National Treasure: It's pure entertainment, so turn off your brain for 3 hours while you read it.
Reading this was a nice break, as I have been reading books this summer such as the classics like Jane Austen, Victor Hugo, Lloyd C. Douglas and so forth, so this was a book to look forward to when my brain was tired.
The end is a complete cliffhanger, so be prepared. I was really disappointed in that. I am getting really tired of waiting for the next book to come out.
Overall, I would this again, maybe next year when the story would be semi-fresh. It was really gripping, and the characters themselves were likeable.
I definitely recommend it.

• Found-fantastic 29 May, 2008
My husband and I both read this book after becoming intrigued by a book review that we encountered. We were not disappointed. Yes, the book was written for children but don't be put off by that. It was fast-paced and engaging from beginning to end. We are impatiently waiting for the next of the series.
