The Face on the Milk Carton

It is difficult for me to remember when this happened, but years ago there used to be faces printed on the cartons of milk. These faces were the faces of people and children who have been missing. The idea of printing these missing people's faces on milk cartons was to make people aware of others who are missing. It was a way for these missing people to be found. THe printing of faces on milk cartons has stopped, but it was a very good way to find missing people.

There was a book written by Caroline B. Cooney called The Face on the Milk Carton. This book is about a girl who's life changes after one affternoon. She takes her friend's carton of milk to drink, and looks at the back and is a picture that startles her. The picture is of someone she knows, herself! It was a picture of her when she was a very young girl. At first she thinks it is some kind of joke, and she trys to put it out of her mind. After a while the curiosity eats away at her and she needs to find out the truth about her past. Before this incident she had never suspected a thing, she thought that the parents she currently has are the ones that gave birth to her. She is so confused and searches for the answers. Read the book to find out what happens!!
