Haddix, Margaret Peterson. 2008. The Missing Book one: Institute.

I may be a flake biased--slightly--since I love, love, dear Margaret Peterson Haddix. My expectations were high with this her first book in a new series. And I was Non disappointed. I was WOWed. I'm non foolish plenty to recollect that this one will WOW every single kid, teen, or adult out there. But for those that love science fiction and mysteries...this i is for you.

Haddix, Margaret Peterson. 2008. The Missing Volume 1: Constitute.

I may be a bit biased--slightly--since I love, honey, love Margaret Peterson Haddix. My expectations were high with this her get-go volume in a new series. And I was Not disappointed. I was WOWed. I'k not foolish plenty to retrieve that this one will WOW every single kid, teen, or adult out there. But for those that love science fiction and mysteries...this one is for you lot.

Here's the opening of the prologue: "It wasn't at that place. Then it was. Later, that was how Angela DuPre would describe the airplane--over and over, to i investigator after another--until she was told never to speak of it over again. But when she showtime saw the plane that night, she wasn't thinking about mysteries or secrets."

What Angela DuPre witnessed on her outset twenty-four hour period of the task was indescribably unbelievable. Perplexing. A plane that appeared and disappeared on the runway. A plane that she found minus the pilot and flight attendants. A flight were all thirty-6 passengers were babies. Sounds crazy, correct? How could an unscheduled plane--a aeroplane that did non bear witness upwards on any of their radars--land on their runway to begin with? How could it take gotten in that location without a pilot on lath? Why babies? But even more strange was the fact that once the babies were unloaded, and the proper authorities called...the plane vanished into sparse air. Angela DuPre witnessed the unbelievable alright. But she wasn't crazy.

The Found opens thirteen years later. Our hero is a boy named Jonah. He's got a best friend, Chip, and a slightly younger sister, Katherine. Our volume opens with the arrival of several mystery letters. Two letters. Thirteen words. Lives are going to modify.

"You are one of the missing."
and
"Beware! They're coming back to get you."

Found is a suspenseful, mysterious action-and-run a risk novel that will thrill those that love scientific discipline fiction. Of course I can't hope that it will "thrill" every reader. But I know it kept me reading. I couldn't put information technology down. And I was loving every minute of information technology. The pacing was but right. The characters were nicely developed--and are certain to better upon with each novel that is published in the serial. The but problem with the book is that it left me wanting more...wanting more now! I don't want to have to wait for the next novel to come out. I want to know what happens to Jonah and Katherine and Scrap At present! There'southward this intensity and immediacy that I just don't discover in many other books.

Normally. This past week-cease I skipped in equally per usual and skimmed the titles of the new autumn releases. A new P.E. Kerr... something by F.Due east. Higgins... and a new Margaret Peterson Haddix. Now there's a treat! I'thousand not the biggest Haddix fan in the world but I'one thousand rather fond of her style. Kids dearest her Among the Hidden series and Running Out of Time was a fun concept (so much then that perhaps director One thousand. Night Shymalan thought then too). Only I've never really fallen for a Haddix novel, y'all know? The writing just usually doesn't do it for me. Perhaps it's the tone or the content or something, but I wasn't really digging the Haddix. Until now. You lot come across, as I saturday down in the bookstore's café to read a chapter I found myself sucked into the story. Does it comprise some lickety split action sequences and leaps that stretch at my adult credulity? Sure. But I as well feel that this may be some of Haddix'south best work. It doesn't necessarily stand on its ain due to its cliffhanger ending, but if you want to paw a kid something fun, fast-paced, and securely mysterious so this is the volume to surrender.

Thirteen years ago an airline bellboy saw something impossible. When the aeroplane appeared on the tarmac it somehow appeared without anyone realizing it had landed. Stranger still, it contained no pilot, no crew, no adults at all. Just xxx-half-dozen babies strapped in their seats. Fast forward to nowadays twenty-four hours when new friends Jonah and Chip check the one-time'southward mailbox. In that location, resting inside is an unsigned note that simply reads, "You are i of the missing." A fell prank? Information technology certainly seems that way until Bit gets the same alphabetic character. Then they both get a follow-up that reads "Beware! They're coming back to get you." They? They who? There doesn't seem to exist much rhyme or reason to the notes until Fleck discovers that he and Jonah accept something in common. They were both adopted. And with the aid of Jonah's sister Katherine there's more to discover. Why does an FBI amanuensis have data about the boys' nascence parents? Why did Katherine see a man appear and disappear in an role one day? Who'due south been sneaking around Jonah'due south room, looking through his things? And what'south the real story backside that plane? The answers lead the kids to find their connection to seemingly incommunicable events.

I'm a sucker for books that contain bearding notes. Such messages appear in stories similar The Mailbox past Audrey Shafer and y'all librarians out in that location will understand what I mean when I say that they make information technology easy to booktalk titles. I also dearest mysteries, frightening moments, and plucky protagonists. Actually that final item is a scrap odd in this book. Though our hero in this story is conspicuously Jonah, the boy spends much of the novel with his fingers in his ears going "LALALALALALALA!" while his friend and sis do much of the investigating on his behalf. Credit where credit is due, though. The kids really do discover a ton of information, and in a manner that makes sense to the plot and is plausible. Anytime a kid in a book breaks into a locked room with a hairpin my eyebrows brand a break for my hairline and it takes a while to coax them downwards. No coaxing was required as I read Haddix's novel. My eyebrows remained firmly in place the entire fourth dimension.

Authors today confront several conundrums when information technology comes to writing gimmicky realistic (or realistic-ish) fiction. First of all, how are your child characters living in the suburbs getting effectually? It's non as if a lot of suburban kids take the bus, after all. Like about authors, Haddix goes for the old wheel riding solution. The next problem? Cell phones. In the past your characters would find themselves in a perilous situation and exist helpless and unable to alert anyone to their location. Prison cell phones, fortunately, can only work where in that location'south a signal so chalk that up to another trouble solved. It'south piece of cake to piece of work effectually contemporary technology, but a good writer should brand use of it. If a kid has a phone with camera capabilities, then that should come in handy. And Haddix definitely sees electronic devices as a way to help and abet the action rather than hinder information technology. Other authors accept note. Sure, engineering changes but when information technology comes to something like jail cell phone cameras such devices will exist effectually for a while. Might every bit well make your volume believable past utilizing them.

Okay. So here'southward my official SPOILER ALERT warning. If you lot would like to be surprised past the secret of this book, stop reading this review correct now. I liked it. Nuff said.

They gone? Great. As those of you who have read the book are aware, the undercover behind this story is that the babies on the airplane is that they're all famous children that died sometime in history. The Lindbergh baby. The kids that Richard III slaughtered. Princess Anastasia (and her little bro). People from the future pay large bucks to heighten such kids, but we never actually learn who Chip and Jonah are. We tin can probably dominion out the children mentioned in the volume, so who does that leave? My hope is that Jonah will turn out to be The Dauphin. That'd be pretty cool, right? As for Chip, why not Henry Viii's kid, Edward 6? Both are famous in history. Both would yield fascinating speculations. That'due south just my two cents.

Haddix is certainly not flying past the A Sound of Thunder rules of fourth dimension travel hither, past the way. People can apparently make fairly large changes to the past without worrying about how the ripple affect is going to impairment the future. Apparently it isn't until y'all're plopping babies from the by into the xx-first century that things beginning to get messed up. How squeamish that the universe is and so flexible. It certainly should exist a load off of time travelers' minds, that's for sure.

I've heard some people vocalisation objections to the book in terms of the activeness sequences. Is it plausible that 2 kids would be able to brand a last infinitesimal plan when they both curve down to tie a shoelace? Meh. And as for the fight scenes, maybe they aren't the greatest I've ever encountered but they didn't sufficiently distract me from the residual of the book to keep me from enjoying it. Haddix isn't going to win any major literary awards with this novel, simply she'll probably garner more than a few kids option medals and ribbons. And quite frankly, that'south the kind of stuff y'all demand to keep in your library. Haddix is a crowd pleaser at heart forth the lines of young man three-namers Mary Downing Hahn or Willo Davis Roberts. But for what it's worth, I think she improves as she goes. Plant is undoubtedly the book of hers that I've enjoyed the most. Looking forward to the sequel.

Ages 9-fourteen.

"Found" is my get-go review on goodreads. Since a synopsis of the book is available, I'k not going to recap the plot, but but give my thoughts.

I am a fan of Margaret Haddix's work and have read "Running Out of Time" and the Shadow Children series amid others which are in the same genre equally "Found." However, Haddix's writing spans a range of genres and I recently read "Insurgence," which is historical fiction, and information technology was excellent. I am also a big fan of fantasy/scifi and reading the first volume in a new series is always exciting. I get that feeling of starting a new gamble that yous really hope is heady. In the example of "Found," I was not disappointed. Fourth dimension travel is certainly common in children'southward books but Haddix puts a fresh twist on it by including time thieves who recklessly steal babies for profit regardless of the consequences to the future and time police who are out to terminate the thieves even if it means that the stolen children must go back in time, leave their families, and even die. The children are caught in the eye.

Though the idea for the volume is exciting, the plot occasionally bogged down, the characters were frustrating at times and two dimensional for the most part, and, having a teenager myself, I often questioned the authenticity of the thoughts and dialogue of the main characters. Information technology as well seems articulate as to the management of the series. With that said however, I'll definitely read the second volume to find out what happens based on the decision Jonah made at the cease of the book.

This is the first volume in the serial. I'm not sure I'll pick up the next one.

Katherine, Jonah'south sis plunges into the mystery headfirst trying to find answers along with Chip every bit to the background behind their adoptions. Jonah becomes more reluctant equally the answers unfold and he isn't then sure he wants to find out the mysteriousness of his adoption. The story unfolds to an exciting climax that will make you want to read book two.

Students like this series that sweeps readers along with gobs of action and creepiness. The writing descriptions are not gorgeous nor is the dialogue witty merely information technology is a quick fun read. I do call up Katherine upstages Jonah as the main character. She'south such a spunky, gutsy gal with a quick encephalon and heart for details. She'southward just a plain 'ole fun character. Jonah sticks his caput in the sand until the very end where he is forced to either show some leadership skills or fade into the rocks.

Not all the questions are answered in this book. Nosotros don't know who Jonah is historically and he isn't really described so the reader tin can't accept a stab at guessing. Well, you can take a stab at information technology but chances are you'll be wrong. We also don't know what happened to Daniella. It isn't articulate Katherine's role in the serial either merely I think she's an interesting character that has to be in the adjacent book based on how Found ends. A good series for your library.

Ok, at present to the review...

The plot's actually cool, it opens a door to new laws of time travel and sci-fi. Chip, Jonah, and Katherine (1 of my favourite characters, she's that sassy loveable character that I absolutely Dear) are stuck deep in this dilemma later Fleck and Jonah gets weird letters that are a (metaphorical) invitation to a LOT of conspiracy, ideas, and investigating.
It'southward realistic: no super-human being powers, no unrealistic big brain moment, and a lot of fun. The whole 'disappearing airplane' thing's actually different than usual sci-fi I read, but that made it feel even ameliorate in my opinion.

I'k giving this a 4 out of 5 because the kickoff was a bit slow, and it took a lot of guessing, but most first-books of a serial are unremarkably the well-nigh deadening because it'southward the whole 'realisation' era where people are learning near who they really are.
Even though Jonah already knew he was an orphan, I still experience like it'due south a bit... I dunno, odd that Flake and Jonah are both orphans. Again, this is just my opinion, and it doesn't change my rating at all. Just a note.
They concluded at the WORST (AKA best) cliff-hanger, 'Welcome to the 15th Century', and I can't wait to read the next volume!

Question 1: Rating?
I'd rate it a 4.two ish, but it's overall a pretty solid volume.

Question 2: Age?
13+ or YA. There'southward no 'mature' or 'older content', but I think younger audiences would have a harder time figuring it out. Thankfully everyone on Goodread should be over 13...

Question iii: Genre?
I recollect hardcore fans of surrealistic, sci-fi, shady plot, etc would actually similar this book, but I'one thousand non a hardcore fan of sci-fi just still had a dandy fourth dimension reading this.

It'due south very hard to summarize this book without giving annihilation away. Let's encounter.... Jonah Skidmore was adopted when he was three months sometime. Just before his thirteenth altogether, he receives a ambiguous message in the mail and he starts questioning the little that he knows well-nigh his by.

Very, very bare bones in that location. After getting hooked by the fantastic prologue, I had a lilliputian bit of an idea as to where this might exist going. I was right to an extent, but mostly I was hugely surprised past the fourth dimension the catastrophe rolled around. I woke up, started this every bit I ate breakfast, kept reading, and finished it in about three hours. Sure, information technology's an older kids' book and I'm a pretty fast reader, merely I could non put this downwards. The action and discoveries didn't finish and I just kept frantically turning pages to find out more.

Jonah is an engaging graphic symbol. Non too good, not too bad--just your average 7th-grader. His actions, reactions, and interactions all felt real to me. Even his sister Katherine and his friend Bit are believable and well fleshed-out. I will say that the Skidmore parents felt a little too perfect.

Actually, there are only two things keeping this from being a five-star book for me. Ane, it's science fiction and I'm not really a fan of the genre. Ii, by the time I got to the catastrophe, I felt like this was mostly gear up for the post-obit book(s). There's nada wrong with that, and at that place's nil really wrong with this book, only I feel like there'due south room for the sequel to be fifty-fifty better and I just desire to leave some wiggle room in my ratings. If I were the author, I would feel cheated, only at that place you get. 4 stars.

Highly recommended every bit a surprising page-turner for immature teenagers and even those older folks who don't permit the age of a protagonist to keep them from enjoying a groovy story.

My sister sent me a copy because she LOVED information technology. So I read it today and I quite liked information technology.

Equally a mother of an adopted son I must say this volume made me a tad uncomfortable - what if someone tried to accept him back? NNNOOOOOOO!!! But it was interesting to read the characters' emotions as they discussed adoption, learned they were adopted or were the sibling of an adopted child. I think the characters were very well done and the emotions and thoughts were true to life.

This volume is a bit science fictiony.

My sister sent me a copy because she LOVED it. And so I read it today and I quite liked it.

As a mother of an adopted son I must say this book fabricated me a tad uncomfortable - what if someone tried to take him dorsum? NNNOOOOOOO!!! But it was interesting to read the characters' emotions as they discussed adoption, learned they were adopted or were the sibling of an adopted kid. I think the characters were very well washed and the emotions and thoughts were true to life.

This book is a fleck science fictiony. You lot won't similar information technology if you lot don't like sci fi. The kickoff part of the book was a little wearisome. The last part was a piddling too fast. But overall I enjoyed it and would read the second book. I practise hate though when a book but ends totally abruptly and right on the border of a major discovery. I Detest waiting for the next book. I typically similar to read a series after information technology's all written and then I don't have to expect. Except for HP, and Leven Thumps, and Fablehaven, and Artemis Fowl....oh, I need to shut upwardly.

It's geared towards 4th graders on up but I disagree with that nearly heartily. I don't think this book appropriate until seventh grade or college. For ane, I think younger kids would be bored with the ho-hum start (a lot of it is about feelings) and second, I think it'due south just subject affair that's a lilliputian more grown-up.

At first I really liked Jonah's family unit's relationship only after a while he started getting snippy and rude to his parents. He'due south never really bad, merely information technology all the same grated a chip. His friend Chip is from a pretty disfunctional family which could be a proficient give-and-take topic.

A skillful, fast, fun read.

Institute is a book that starts right off with the drama. It is not a lot, but it is enough to get y'all wondering and thinking.

This book is by and large set-up, just I feel like Haddix is going to do a affair with different eras in time similar what Rick Riordan does with mythology, to try to make information technology more outgoing. I could exist very wrong but that is the impression I become. I honestly don't really know what to say about the rest of the book.

Every bit an developed, information technology was merely kind of boring. I didn't care about the characters or mysteries, I felt no attachment at all. Everything was too convenient and answers were jumped to so rapidly. People who say they have answers merely beat almost the bush in really bad-mannered ways. There are too many loopholes and discrepancies.

Awkward. That'south the word I want for this book: it is awkward and clunky.

As a kid, though, I would not have noticed all of that, would have taken it in pace, and would eagerly pick up the side by side to find out what happens. How will they gear up the 15th century? How will they fix all the centuries then all the kids can stay with their 21st century families and all cease up back in the cavern and at the briefing safe and sound? My younger self would intendance, simply my adult self does non.

Magaret Peterson Haddix has always been an enjoyable author for me.

That'southward why it'south difficult for me to believe Found is a Haddix volume. It feels so lacking when compared to her other novels.

Why is information technology the graphic symbol feel so wooden in this novel? Information technology's not like they don't accept personality. It's but that they are never more than you expect them to exist. Jonah is ever skeptical, Katherine is always sassy,Chip refrains from ever being more than the semiuseless goofball. And it'south not that they're consummate stereotypes, it'southward that they are static. I felt no growth from the characters. They behaved exactly like a a agglomeration of 12/13 year olds would. I kept hoping to go by that outer shell and run across some real development, but Haddix seemed content keeping them every bit shallow cut-outs, mere vessels for the plot.

And there lies my biggest gripe with the novel: the plot. Information technology wasn't boring. Information technology had a few plot twists, and I was interested all the way through to the very end. The finish also sets itself upward for a sequel very well, making y'all wonder what will happen. But in that location'due south no message at that place. This book was a thrill-ride, and I enjoyed it, but if I ever read the sequel, I'll probably accept to reread this volume starting time, because it was and so ultimately forgettable. Maybe Haddix will slip in her usual messages most the dangers of playing god or the power goverment has over our lives in the later volumes, but this one didn't have any philosophical undertones. Like the charaters, information technology never tried to be more than what it was: a summer embankment book.

Institute isn't a bad volume; I was but hoping for more from Ms. Haddix.

Followed by the secret lists, intruders, and the phone number from the FBI.

Which all lead dorsum to the plane that disappeared.

And suddenly being "adopted" has an entirely dissimilar meaning.

Sigh. Yet another series I am going to have to shoot right to the pinnacle of my priority list. And I already had so many!

Margaret Peterson Haddix is the queen of pre-teen suspense novels, and Found is no different.

I liked the book, but the entire story was a set-up for what will undoubtedly be a lengthy (and no doubt, popular) series from the prolific Haddix.

I practice non know about you, but I do not take enough time to commit to another series!
