I really prefer the covers depicting a plane, as well as this older cover image of blurry people to the current cover image now used for every book in the series of a cube-shaped thingamabob. Here is the link to the author’s website where you can see what covers of Found from other countries such as Poland look like. And really, they were smart cookies, why would they go in? Also, near the end of the book Jonah, Chip and Katherine recognize that a structure might be a trap, and enter it anyway. But at the end of the book Jonah takes on a leadership role in a way that did not seem entirely believable. Chip and Jonah are well-developed, likeable characters. Chip spends a lot of time being terrified, and it starts to get a little old. I actually felt like the action in Found could have been sped up throughout most of the book. Yet, since I’d previously read the second book in this series, Sent, and loved it, I was a little disappointed.
You want to know who is sending the notes, why the kids are in danger, and of course where those babies came from in the first place. The notes Jonah and Chip receive create a tension that kept me flipping the pages quickly. The baby laden plane is the backstory of Found. The kids discover they are caught in a battle between two opposing forces that want very different things for Jonah and Chip’s lives.ĭo Jonah and Chip have any choice in the matter? And what should they choose when both alternatives are horrifying? 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 first one says, “You are one of the missing.” The second one says, “Beware! They’re coming back to get you.” Then he and a new friend, Chip, who’s also adopted, begin receiving mysterious letters. Thirteen-year-old Jonah has always known that he was adopted, and he’s never thought it was any big deal. Because of this unbeatable premise I had for years been wanting to read Found, the first book in The Missing series by Margaret Peterson Haddix, (2008, 314 pages), and last week I finally did so. No one knows where the plane came from, or who the babies are.
A plane lands in an airport with 36 infants aboard.
