Independent Readind- The Voice on the Radio (190 pages)

The book I read is called The Voice on the Radio. This book is a sequel to The Face on a milk carton.The story caught my eye because I like mysteries. This book is about a girl,named Jannie, who is living a normal life with what she thinks are her normal parents. Until one day while eating lunch in her school cafeteria she sees a picture of her when she was only three on the back of a milk carton. The milk carton has a picture posted and a caption saying "Jennie Springs is missing". Even though that is not her name now, she knows its her face on the carton. I couldn't imagine being in her position! Thinking your parents that have raised you now may be kidnappers. I'd be lost, confused, and scared. I would wonder who my parents were and if they were even looking for me anymore. It would be weird because I would feel torn away from the only thing I've ever known. In away I wouldn't even want to meet my biological parents just because for thirteen years I have been with another family. At that point in life I would trust no one. Later on the book, they reveal that the parents that supposedly kidnapped her had a daughter named Hannah. Hannah was involved in a gang and left home. When she returned she brought Jennie with her saying she had a kid and didn't know how to raise her so she put them in charge. When Hannah's parents realized that Hannah kidnapped Jennie they were sad and hurt. At this point in my life I wouldn't know what to do, because whose fault is it? It's Hannah's, so neither family is in fault.
