The final book in this series of four about Janie Johnson, the missing girl who saw her own picture on a milk carton. In this book, Janie's adoptive father has just suffered a stroke, and is unable to do anything. Janie is now responsible for handling all of his paperwork, as her mother is not able to do it.

Whilst sorting things out, Janie finds a folder marked HJ (the Johnson's daughter, Hannah, who kidnapped her). She is shocked to realize that her father might have known all along t More...

Janie's Connecticut father has suffered a stroke/heart attack and Janie has been assigned to putting his office in order. Among the cabinet drawers she finds a thin file marked H.J. -- Hannah Javenson, Miranda and Frank Johnson's biological daughter, the woman who kidnapped Jennie Spring and set all this turmoil in motion. In this file Janie found a checkbook in which Frank has been mailing checks to his child for the last three years, postmarked to Colorado. Colorado, where her older brothe More...

What Janie found is the ending to the series of the Face on the Milk Carton. It is about Janie, the main character trying to get answers from her kiddnapper. She must lie on her journey to find her answers.
I didn't really like this book. The author's thoughts were not organized. There is dialouge then a pause to describe what the person was thinking. Then, there would be a flashback or something that the speaker liked. The chapters were confusing as well. One scene would be More...

So far in this book, Janie Johnson has been thinking about her Conneticuit father who's in the hospital because he had a stroke and a heart attack. Reeve, Janie's neighbor, and Brian, Janie's brother, were staying with Janie and her Conneticuit mother throughout the beginning of the summer.
Janie found a folder on Hannah (her kidnapper and the Johnson's daughter) while sorting through bills and folders in her Conneticuit dad's desk. Reeve and Brian also saw the folder, and the expression on More...

I read What Janie Found by Caroline B. Cooney. The book is the companion to the Face on the Milk Carton, What ever Happened to Janie, and Voice on the Radio. This series is about Janie finding out that she is not a Johnson but a Spring. She finds out that she was kidnapped, not by her Johnston family but but their daughter, Hannah. Janie's boyfriend then goes to collage and goes on a radio station. He then starts telling stories about Janie. Janie soon finds out and gets mad at him. In this book More...

What Janie Found is the last book in the four part series. The 'Milk Carton' series was a really good series. In this book Janie's 'father' has had a stroke and is in critical condition. While he is in the hospital, Janie has the duty of doing the bills and all of those things. When she was going through some of the bills she noticed something peculiar about Hannah. She wants to know why her father does this. She learns where Hannah is located, and it's somewhere where a close 'relative' lives. More...

Young Adult novel. The fourth and final book in the series about Janie Johnson, the missing girl on the milk carton. Janie's (adoptive) father has had a stroke/heart attack, and Janie must shoulder his paperwork responsibilities, since her mother has never dealt with any of it, and is herself weakening. Janie finds a folder that tells her where she can find Hannah, the woman who kidnapped her years earlier and whose motives remain a mystery for all involved. I read the other books eagerly, and b More...

What Janie found was a very good book it answered all of the questions. It really showed all of the feelings that Stephen and had how angry and upset he was. I didn't like how in all of the books they are going to meet Hannah then they don't and it keeps on going till the final decision they had to make. I thought it was to much back and forth between those decisions. I think this was a good ending for the book and series. I liked how the book jumped in right away to what she found there wasn't More...

Review on What Janie Found

By: Caroline B. Cooney

This is one remarkably outstanding book that I had to read ever. It deals with a girl named Janie who in terms find out that she was kidnapped by a girl named Hannah. Hannah kidnapped Janie and ran away from her own family. Hannah gave this baby girl in which she kidnapped to her family. Hannah's family has no clue that their baby girl, Janie was kidnapped. Our story also starts from Stephen's view point, because it sta More...

What Janie Found is the final conclusion to the JANIE Quartet. The story of Janie Johnson first began with Caroline B. Cooney's The Face on the Milk Carton, a book that was made into a TV movie about a teenager who recognizes her own three-year-old face on a milk carton and discovers that she had been kidnapped years before.
Two additional books, What Happened to Janie? and The Voice on the Radio, continued the remarkable story of a girl who somehow needed to blend her present life and fam More...

Even though i haven't read the first three books to the series, I still thought this book was interesting. I might have gotten lost sometimes, but the action was enough to help me finish the book. There was enough detail that helped me understand the book more. I thought it was shocking that Janie had to manage the family finances by herself and also help out her mother.
If you like to read a book about something that could terribly can happen to your family, this is the book for you More...

Janie discovers a file of Hannah Javenson, the daughter of her fake parents and the person that kidnapped Janie, in her dad's file cabinet. She flies to Boulder with Reeve and Brian to find Hannah but Stephen (Janie and Brian's brother) goes to school there so they have to pretend that they are visiting him. This was the last book of the series and I thought it was pretty good. I didn't really like the ending though because I expected them to actually find Hannah but they didn't. I would recomme More...

This book was very suspenseful and realistic. It had lots of surprising changes and always left you hanging at an intense moment because it is told from many different characters' perspectives. You really feel what Janie feels and always ask yourself what you would do, as she finally decides what to do with the rest of her mixed up life. The characters in the book like Janie, her sister, and their three brothers, are very similar to any other teenagers or big families. Although it wasn't very ex More...

I was actually kind of disappointed with how it turned out. I loved the first three books (and even thought that the third was a great conclusion) but this one seemed really different. The thoughts and plot didn't seem complete and it lacked a real strong plot. It felt scattered and not in tune like the other books. I think it's safe to finish the "Janie" series with "The Voice on the Radio."

I tore through this entire series, reading each book in just a few hours. The storyline fascinated me, with a complex plot, flawed but loving characters, and thought-provoking trials. These books make you think, and I think make you a better person for reading it. Bad guys aren't all bad, good guys aren't all good... they're just who they are, for better or worse.

This is hard to talk about because it's the most spoilery of the bunch. But basically it deals with the question that if you had the chance to find out the truth about something, would you do it? Even if it would hurt the people you love most?

Very good series, and I'm sad there aren't any more Janie Johnson books.

This is book 4 of the "Face on the milk carton series". I thoroughly enjoyed reading this series. It is relatively clean, no swearing or sex (although there is some talk about it). If you read The Face on the milk carton and enjoy it, I would recommend the entire series. Teenagers and adults would probably enjoy this book.

This is the last book in the Janie series and it does a good job of concluding everything, and wraps it all up well with her finding her true place, etc. The series overall was entertaining and when I originally read it I was super attached to the story and to finding out what would happen next.

This was a great way to end this book series! I was so excited to know what she found the whole time I read it. This was possibly my favorite book, because it could've ended so many different ways. I would highly reccomend this book, and this whole series to just about anyone!

audio cd; I found this to be a nice ending to the psychological drama of Janie and her family extensions, especially as I didn't love The Voice on the Radio. It was interesting to see how Cooney brings emotional closure to the four characters she wants us to care about most.

This book felt kind of unnecessary, but overall an okay finale to the "Face On The Milk Carton" series...mysterious, dramatic, and all of that, but a good story that you can't put down too easily. Janie found something that revealed to her the secrets of Hannah! Gasp!

I read the first three in this series but don't recall this final book--I'll have to check it out and see if I really read it and forgot! The first three were good books--easy to read and an interesting concept for a story1.

Not sure this book was necessary to end the series. It seemed like it was going to bring up new things, but it only rehashed old feelings and reopened problems I thought I had already been solved.
