Alyssa Bresnahan
When 15-year-old Janie Johnson sees her own face in the missing children box on a milk carton, her world begins to blur. Was she kidnapped when she was a baby? Who are her parents? And who are Mr. and Mrs. Johnson? Janie’s search for the answers will lead her back 12 years into memories of another house, another family, another life. Her questions threaten to destroy the love she feels for her parents and the security they have given her. But it is a search she cannot ignore.
The Face on the Milk Carton has been extremely popular ever since it was first released. An IRS-CBC Children’s Choice Book, it also has been made into a frequently-aired television special. Recorded Books is proud to offer an unabridged recording of this riveting story that takes on new drama and urgency through Alyssa Bresnahan’s stirring narration.

Okay. I “listened” to “The Face on the Milk Carton” when I was, what, 14-years-old. I remember thinking that the characters were so grown up and cool! I had the biggest crush on Reeve and thought that Janie was in the right for withholding information from everyone because who wants to tell their parents (or fake parents) something so big?!
Listening to the novel now? Well, of course it’s going to feel different. I’m 30 now, and so I’d know who to tell and what to do if something like this were to occur. I’ve lived my life a good 15 more years than Janie now. Still, I could feel my juvenile sense of apprehension about telling people you are conflicted with—should the parents be trusted, are they actually the parents, are they bad people? I can also remember the obsessive thoughts that could cloud anybody’s mind when faced with such an ordeal. Heck, I still have to deal with the constant flux of worries I have to sort out at the end of the day. Stuff like that can really take the joy out of something.
So, what am I trying to say? Well, “The Face on the Milk Carton” aged a bit. Some won’t understand cassette tapes or the minor pop culture references. But in the end, the novel is able to delve into the mind of a “15-year-old” and pull out the fears, thoughts, hopes, and dreams concerning Janie. It may not be perfect, but it was a good read either way.
(PS: The narrator was fine! Think, this was recorded back in 1999. Try listening to some of Alyssa Bresnahan's stuff now and she sounds way different, The point is, give this a chance.)
A Good Listen

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, I would recommend this audiobook to a friend. It has so many twists and turns as it is a psychological thriller for YA's. I read it as a YA in the early 90's in book form but got more out of it in audiobook form this time.Who was your favorite character and why?
Reeve was my favorite character I think because he just was kind and helpful to his neighbor Janie. Janie was also a favorite because she was a main character with some serious depth to her.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Of course it was but again, just like the last one I read, I had to sleep and eat among other things in life that draw you away from books.Any additional comments?
I think the narrator could have been better. I mean she was good but Janie's friends voices were slightly confusing as they overlapped occasionally.Another great book from my past
