Third in the Missing series by Ms. Haddix, this volume continues the saga of Jonah and Katherine, who have become agents of some mysterious time travelers. Their mission is to help relocate some significant historical characters back into their original places in time.
At some point in the future, a literal plane load of children were kidnapped by some unsavory time travelers, who had hit upon the ideal adoption service. For a price, prospective parents could select an actual child from history,...more

Something very cool about these books is the historical subject matter at the end of each story. The author researches and works diligently to explain why time travel actually could explain events of the past when explanations are currently lacking. The commentaries are simply fascinating.
Book one explains a lot and is slow. You feel very much like you're reading a book for a kid because its very slow, but clearly explained. That made reading book one slightly painful. 3 star.

I've read all four of these. The first one took me a little while to figure out what was happening, then the other three were more enjoyable (except for "Torn" #4, which was just too confusing with split time). History/social studies teachers would love these - kids go back into time (how they do so really does strain the willing suspension of disbelief - but since that strain is a common theme, I finally just accepted it) - to England in the 15th century, Roanoke, NC in the 16th century and the...more
These books are written for my kids' age but they are so engaging and easy, fun to read. The premise of this series is based on historical missing children who are kidnapped in time and sent to the future. This group of kids are then rounded up at age 13 in modern day and one of the boys is fighting to get them all either back to their rightful time or figure out how to keep them living their modern day "new life". The author does a great job with the time travel style (which I usually find anno...more
A wonderful concept! I love history and time travel and here they are meshed.
Important children were stolen in the past, adopted in present day and have to return to their original place and time to fix ripples in time.
The first book sets up the story line.
The second book is excellent, if a bit preachy at the end. Kind of ticked me off that in a history story she began pushing her religion, but she is the author.
Third book was even better than the other two!

It was an okay series, but not as I expected having already read the Shadow Children series. Maybe it is because of the 'history' point of view? I do think that this series would be great for my son, Tristin! He loves history. :)
I loved this book! Ive loved all of the books fekmthe very start and in currently on the 3rd one but im having trouble figuringbout hoe to read it on here
I've read them all the first two were outstanding all though I was a little disappointed in the third book sabotage it could have been better.
A fast paced read! I couldn't wait to find out what happened, but know I have to read the second book.
It was a very interesting book. It really made me have to guess what was gonna happen on the next part of the book. To me it seemed like it was hard to understand, but I think that it was very intriguing to me.
More excellent choices for teens.
I loved this book!!!
these books are amazing
These books make you wonder what will happen next. I can't wait to read the last two books of this series.
I couldn't get into this one, but tried for my daughter Abby who loved the whole series.
On the fourth book: Torn.
