Monday's Riddle: A Sparkly At Best...

Hello, Riddlers! Can you guess our theme this week? I have two that are very special to me. They're good reminders to be yourself. ; ) ~F

A fancy spot, close to your heart. Hanged together, but apart. A reminder for you, a memory past, something special that can last. It could be anything, but sparkly at best; conveniently located center chest. While you're you, it's your style. At this thing, you shall smile.

What am I referring to? Stop by Wednesday for the answer. 

I gave you a clue!

Lizzy's Review: A Plane Full of Babies?

Jonah has always known he was adopted, and his parents have told him what a special day it was when he came into their lives. But when Jonah starts receiving mysterious letters saying he's one of the missing and someone is coming for him, he begins to worry. Is someone looking for him because they gave him up for adoption? He isn’t sure what the letters mean, but he knows he can’t tell his parents about them. When Johan finds out his new neighbor, Chip, was also adopted and that he has been getting the same letters things become a whole lot weirder. Jonah’s sister, Katherine, is right on top of it and can't wait to help crack this mystery. A family trip to the local FBI office leads to some unique events and more questions. A list of witnesses and survivors is discovered and the kids don't know what it could possibly mean. As they begin to investigate things become very dangerous. One of the witnesses reveals that Chip and Jonah were found thirteen years earlier on a plane, only the plane had no pilot and was only full of babies. Now, people are looking for Jonah and Chip. Who is trying to find them? Does this have anything to do with the babies on the plane? Will anyone help them? You will be just as anxious as Chip and Jonah to figure out what is going on!


I have read many books by Margaret Peterson Haddix, so I was looking forward to starting The Missing series. Found intrigued me and I was interested in the mystery. It was fun trying to figure out everything on my own and the story moved at a quick pace. I think this book will appeal to kids in fourth grade and up who like books that involve science fiction and suspense. The three main characters are different enough that they have their own unique personalities, but close enough in age that kids will easily be able to relate to them. This book ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, so I know I'll have to get the second book to see what happens. Luckily, I think most of the series is out now so if there are any more cliffhangers I won't have to wait long before I find the answers!

Has anyone else read Found? Or have you read another book by Margaret Peterson Haddix? We’d love to hear your thoughts!

Happy Reading!
