By Margaret Peterson Haddix
Book review by Denise Bashline
Characters
 Jonah- He is the main character. He is
adopted and has a sister who is not. He
becomes friends with the new boy down the
street. He gets the first note that says “You
are one of the missing.”
 Katherine- She is Jonahs little sister. She
helps her brother solve the mystery of where
Jonah and Chip even come from.
 Chip- He is Jonah’s friend and he starts to
have a crush on Katherine. He finds out that
he is adopted when he starts getting strange
notes in the mail like Jonah.
Plot
 I never thought about being adopted as all that
complicated until Jonah and Chip find out that their
past isn’t what they had expected.
 13 years before, they and 34 other crying babies
were found in an airplane at Sky Trails Air. Angela
Dupre walked onto the plane finding 36 babies with
no pilot or plane crew.
 They were all taken and put into adoption agencies
in different states, then 13 years later they were all to
be found in 1 of 3 cities in the state of Ohio.
 Chip moved to the same street as Jonah. The day
they actually started hanging out was the day Jonah
got the first letter. It came in the mail and it had no
return address. It said, “You are one of the missing.”
Setting
The Main Settings At Jonah’s house, in his room and in the
drive way.
 At Chip’s house, in his basement on the
computer and phone.

Conclusion
 This book has a lot of surprises. Jonah,
Katherine, and Chip get themselves in a
situation where no one but them can help.
 What happens to Katherine when they find
out she isn’t one of the missing? Where does
everyone end up? Who are the bad guys?
 They didn’t think that they had been babies
from so long ago that had been brought back
to the future. Until…
What I think…
 Found was a very good book. I liked it
because it was written by my favorite author.
Margaret Peterson Haddix is my all time
favorite book author. I especially liked this
book because it was a very complex mystery
at the beginning then it started giving out
clues and hints to what was going to happen.
 I would give this book 5 stars and 2 thumbs
up!!!! I plan to read the next book in the
series, Sent.
