Thirteen-year-old Jonah has always known that he was adopted, and he's never thought it was any big deal. Then he and a new friend, Chip, who's also adoped, begin receiving mysterious letters. The first one says, "You are one of the missing." The second one says, "Beware! They're coming back to get you." 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 kids discover they are caught in a battle between two opposing forces that want very different things for Jonah and Chip's lives. Do Jonah and Chip have any choice in the matter? And what should they choose when both alternatives are horrifying? With Found, Margaret Peterson Haddix begins a new series that promises to be every bit as suspenseful as her Shadow Children series -- which has sold more than 4 and 1/2 million copies -- and proves her, once again, to be a master of the page-turner.

once you read this book you HAVE to read the second! (found ends on a cliff-hanger.)

Jonah is a normal kid he lives a normal life. Yes he is adopted he has a sister, Katherine, and a friend Chip. So, he was going about his normal life when he gets a letter in the mail. ‘You are one of the missing.’ and those six words turn his, and Chips, life upside-down. Chip finds out he is adopted and his parents never told him! Soon they are fighting a mysterious enemy and are wondering whom they can trust. They meet a woman names Angela DuPree to get more information on where they are from. They get trapped in a cave, sent back in time, and have to make big decisions. They can either get sent into the future with new parents or sent into the past to fix time. Which will they choose? Will they make it out alive? Who can they trust? Read this great book to find out!
