Found

Author: Margaret Peterson Haddix

Found is an intriguing mystery with a splash of time travel thrown in. The first book in The Missing series, Found starts out with a plane that mysteriously appears on a runway with no pilot or flight crew, only 36 babies on board. Years later, thirteen year old, Jonah receives a strange letter that states, "You are one of the missing." He writes the letter off as a prank, since he has long known that he was adopted. Then, his friend, Chip, receives the same letter, which leads Chip to a startling revelation about his family. Together, Chip, Jonah, and Jonah's sister race to discover the secrets of their past, but the letters keep coming warning them to be careful. You will be hooked from the first page and will race through the story, eager, like Jonah and his friends, for clues about the past, and to find out what happens next. No one can be trusted in this intriguing opening. Be sure to read it with the next book in the series, Sent, on hand because you're going to want to dive right into it. Found is perfect for 9-12 year old sci-fi fans who also like mystery and adventure.
