Praise for the Janie Johnson series: The Face on the Milk Carton * An IRA-CBC Children's Choice "It's a gripper. You can't put it down until you've gone through the whole trauma with Janie Johnson, from that first moment of horrified recognition to the thoroughly satisfying conclusion." -- Entertainment Weekly "Those of us of a certain age devoured this book. . . . It made us think, and keep thinking about it, even after we finished reading. For many of us, too, it was the kickoff to a lifelong love of reading, particularly in the genres of suspense and horror." -- The Atlantic "Absorbing and convincing. Strong characterizations and suspenseful, impeccably paced action add to this novel's appeal." -- Publishers Weekly "Cooney again demonstrates an excellent ear for dialogue and a gift for portraying responsible middle-class teenagers trying to come to terms with very real concerns." -- School Library Journal Whatever Happened to Janie? * An ALA-YALSA Best Book for Young Adults "The power and nature of love is wrenchingly illustrated throughout this provocative novel, which expresses multiple points of view with remarkable understanding." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review The Voice on the Radio * An ALA-YALSA Best Book for Young Adults "Cooney's outstanding command of emotional tension has taken this novel to extraordinary heights." -- School Library Journal, starred review, Praise for the Janie Johnson series: The Face on the Milk Carton * An IRA-CBC Children's Choice "Cooney again demonstrates an excellent ear for dialogue and a gift for portraying responsible middle-class teenagers trying to come to terms with very real concerns." -- School Library Journal Whatever Happened to Janie? * An ALA-YALSA Best Book for Young Adults "The power and nature of love is wrenchingly illustrated throughout this provocative novel, which expresses multiple points of view with remarkable understanding." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review The Voice on the Radio * An ALA-YALSA Best Book for Young Adults "Cooney's outstanding command of emotional tension has taken this novel to extraordinary heights." -- School Library Journal, starred review

Synopsis
A psychological thriller about a teenager who sees her own face staring back at her from a missing children's notice on the back of a milk carton. An emotionally evocative and chilling read that seamlessly blends mystery and suspense for fans of A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER and WE WERE LIARS. "It's a gripper. You can't put it down." -- Entertainment Weekly "A real page-turner." -- Kirkus Reviews 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 her . 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 her parents?

- l***l (20)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseKind & Amazing Seller. Book was shipped quickly, arrived as described & the packaging was superb! Seller replied quickly when I had a question after the USPS driver mis delivered my package (USPS’s fault). Thankfully 2 days later USPS found it. The value of this book is priceless because it brought my husband a happy memory from his childhood when read it for the first time. The value of these amazing sellers is just as priceless…Thank you so much John & Steph!
- n***o (288)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseFirst time buying from this seller. Great communication. I bought 8 CDs in this order. Unfortunately, one of my CD cases got cracked in shipping. CDs were packaged wrapped in a mailing bag with paper cushioning the box not, not bubble wrapped. My seven other CDs were as pictured and described. Disc 1 in this set was the only one dinged. It's minor, but noticeable and not what you expect. Overall however, I am pleased with my purchase. I would order from them again, if extra precautions are takenPiano by Candlelight - 3 CD Set (CD, 1994, Madacy) (#335976401519)
