2^nd Quarter book review

3. Found by Margaret Peterson Haddix. Simon & Schuster Books, 2008. Genre: Science Fiction

4. Summary: The book Found is a thrilling story by the author Margaret Peterson Haddix. The story is about Jonah a young boy who has always known he was adopted but when he and his friend Chip who is also adopted keep receiving suspicious letters they started to wonder more about where they came from. Jonah, Chip and Jonah's sister Katherine start to investigate the letters and get into a case covered by the FBI. After research they find out that they were found on a mysterious airplane that appeared out of thin air and was filled with babies and Jonah and Chip were two of the babies on the plane. They struggle to figure where this plane came from and where they came from?

5. “ A mesmerizing tale of adoptees, time travel, suspenseful volume.”

-Parade

6. Haddix’s writing style is very clear and comfortable. It really makes you understand the story and the characters point of view on situations. Though I have never read on of her books before this one, I would be open to reading another one.

7. Quote: “ Beware! They’re coming back to get you.”

(That was the second letter that Chop and Jonah received.)

8. Though I am not adopted I often do wonder where I came form and what is the background of my family. And this relates to the story because Jonah and Chip throughout the story are trying to figure ot where they came from.
