This book is about a fifteen-year-old girl named Janie Johnson who lives in Connecticut. She is an only child and has two very loving parents. One day when she was at school she took her friends milk carton because she needed it to wash down her peanut butter sandwich. She noticed on the back of the carton that there was a three-year-old girl who had gone missing. That girl had the same bright red hair as Janie did, and Janie swore that was her. She started investigating and came across some interesting information. She started to really pay attention to her life; noticing that she didn't have any of her parents features, or that her parents had never shown her any of her baby pictures under five-years of age. She had a feeling that she was that girl who got kidnapped twelve years ago but was to scared to tell anyone. She finally told her neighbor/best friend, Reeve, about all of these things that she was finding out about herself.
This book is really suspenseful and the author's detailed writing makes you not want to put it down. Since it's really short, you could probably finish this book in about a week. The front cover of the book gives you a list of a bunch of other books that this author has written, including Code Orange, Diamonds in the Shadow, What Child is this?, and The Girl Who Invented Romance. I really like her style of writing and am definitely going to look into these other books. I also found out that a movie was made from this book, and I can't wait to see it!
