Yep, 4 Harry Potters: Sorceror’s Stone, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban & Goblet of Fire.. we’re reading #1 for school *L*

No book five until at least next May, probably later.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
The picture of a missing child printed on a milk carton attracts the attention of 15-year-old Jane Johnson. A glimpse of the girl’s polka-dot dress causes memories to surface, and Jane begins to review her past and question her true identity. It is nearly impossible for Jane to perceive her loving parents as kidnappers; the task of gathering evidence and drawing conclusions proves less difficult than confronting the undeniable truth. As the novel ends, Jane has found the courage to contact her real parents, but Cooney cleverly leaves the events that follow to readers' imaginations. Although the book’s plot is based largely on coincidences, Cooney’s skilled writing makes even the most unlikely events seem plausible. The roller-coaster ride Jane experiences with her emotions is both absorbing and convincing. Strong characterizations and suspenseful, impeccably-paced action add to this novel’s appeal. Ages 12-up.

From School Library Journal
Grade 7-10-- The message on the milk carton reads, "Have you seen this child?" Three-year-old Jennie Spring was kidnapped 12 years earlier, but Janie Johnson, looking at the photo, suddenly knows that she is that child. Fragments of memory and evidence accumulate, and when she demands to know about her early childhood years, her parents confess what they believe to be true, that she is really their grandchild, the child of their long-missing daughter who had joined a cult. Janie wants to accept this, but she cannot forget Jennie’s family and their loss. Finally, almost against her will, she seeks help and confides in her parents. Her mother insists that she call the Spring family, and the book ends as she calls them. Many young people fantasize about having been adopted or even kidnapped, but the decisions Janie must face are painful and complex, and she experiences denial, anger, and guilt while sorting her way toward a solution. Janie’s boyfriend--sensible, funny, with problems of his own--is an excellent foil for her intensity. Their romance is natural and believable. Cooney again demonstrates an excellent ear for dialogue and a gift for protraying responsible middle-class teen-agers trying to come to terms with very real concerns. A good choice for readers of Norma Fox Mazer’s Taking Terri Muller (Morrow, 1983). --Tatiana Castleton, Stockton-San Joaquin County Public Library, CA

i know this is kinda late, but for future references, these are the reasons why the face on the milk carton, by caroline b. cooney was banned. *I’m currently doing a school report on this, and i’m trying rly hard to find the reasons* I found that it was banned for having some sexual content, writing about a kidnapping, also for creating fear for younger children who read the book- they started to feel mistrust toward their parents (somehow *puzzled*) since they started to think they were kidnapped. Many readers who read the book said they thought it was extremely slow-moving, boring, strayed off the plot, and unrealistic.
I personally thought the book was great tho =]

why exactly was this book [ the face on the milk carton] banned
it looked like a pretty good book and i’m doing an assignment but its been banned and i need to know fast so i can figure this out :}
