JB promises that if they can fix history, they can all return to their present-day lives. Now Chip and Alex have to reclaim their true identities—as the king and pri...more

Life Between Coffee Spoons
Without offering time for even a breath, Sent dumps readers right along with the time-traveling quad directly into 15th century England. More specifically, the Tower of London on the night Richard III is often supposed to have murdered his nephews. This leaves Jonah, Katherine, Chip, and Alex (the latter two it turns out are Edward and Richard after being snatched from time) to work out saving their lives while exploring history firsthand.

I really adored the first book in this series, but when I...more

This book is about three kids that get sent back in time. this is the second book in the missing book series. In book 1 an unexpected airplane that landed in the airport and was filled up with babies and they are all sent out to orphanages around the country. later on they all find out that they were on that plane and they are missing kids. this means there were kidnapped out of there real time period and sent to the current time period because they were famous kings that had som...more

[close] I really liked the first book from the series but this book was alot more fun to read. It had a lot of scenes where the kids go back in time and have no idea what to do. This reminded me of how I was in certain places with no clue why or where I was at. Knowing that feeling the book made a strong connection to the way I felt when I was reading it. The book also strongly reminded me of the movie "Back to the Future" where Marty goes back in time and doesn't know the customs of the people...more

After reading the first book of this series I couldn't but help myself continue on reading the next book in the series. Jonah and Chip are 2 of the 36 children that were stolen out of time and kidnapped into the future which has hurt history. J.B. which is a time officer gathered the 36 children up to go back in time. The first ones that are determined to go are Chip and Alex but Jonah and Kathrine jump in at the last second since they didn't want them to go alone. They keep in contact but it is...more

Although im only on the second book of the series, i really like this Haddix series so far. I read the first book Found and after finishing that book i was really interested in the second book. Sent by Margaret Peterson is a book that has sci-fi, fantasy, adventure, historical fiction, and a little bit of mystery. Since this book has so many genres, you learn a lot from the book. The group of kids(Jonah, Katherine, Chip, Alex) are sent back in time to London in the 15th century so you do get to...more

This book was ok in my opinion. It was kind of a slow plot, but it was a pretty good and complicated story with lots of details to make you very confused. That is the kind of book I like. That's why I liked Harry Potter and Hunger Games.
Jonah, Katherine, Chip, and Alex arrive in 1483 in a small, dark, room. They soon find out that Chip and Alex were the king and prince of England yanked out of history and brought to the twenty-first century. The four friends set out to save history and themse...more

There are currently three books in The Missing series: (1) Found; (2) Sent; and (3) Sabotaged. I was first introduced to this particular series (and this author) when Found showed up on the Division II (Grades 5-7) nominees for the 2010-11 Maud Hart Lovelace Award.

I try to read all the Lovelace nominees in both divisions so I can speak knowledgeably about them and help students when they are selecting one for their own reading pleasure. For me, Found was a lightning-fast read. I was hooked from...more

I took a little break between this book and the first book and this book, and when I came back to read this book it was less satisfactory than the first book. The key word here is less; it was by no means an unsatisfactory book for an elementary school student like I was. The thing is that this book introduced a new and interesting setting as can be expected with time travel books, especially those of real historical situations. That added a lot of depth and incentive for me to read the book.

I was very excited for Sent once I'd finished Found because I was interested in seeing how Haddix was going to write about the 15th century. At first, I really doubted this book, not because it was lacking in potential--hello, we're going back in time--but because I wasn't sure how ideas about linear time vs time travel and 15th century vs 21st century would come off and still be understood and accepted by the younger, target audiences. However, I thought Haddix did a great job at it--she didn't...more

As with Found, saying that I liked Sent is not entirely the right way of putting it. It was interesting, exciting, clever, and easy to follow. There was nothing I disliked, but like just isn't the word, which is the case with most time-travel stories.

It helps to have a knowledge of history when reading this simply because it helps the Reader appreciate the way Margaret Peterson Haddix puts the story of Edward V and his brother, Richard, together. Every fan of history's mysteries (such as the odd...more

I don’t always review more than one book in a series, but in this case, the sequel was as good as the original. At the end of book one, Jonah, Katherine and Chip find themselves whirling through time. In book two, they emerge in the year 1483. Because Chip isn’t just their 21st century neighbor, he’s Edward V, King of England, and he’s about to become worm food. To prevent “the ripple” from affecting all of time, it’s crucial that Chip return to the years he was stolen from so events will play o...more

Have you ever read a "Haddix" book? No, then check out this review. This is my first "Haddix" book and it was incredible. I didn't read the first book in this series and I probably should have because that left alot of plot holes for me. Anyways, this book is about 4 kids who are from 3 different time periods in history and maybe even the future. 3 of them were brought to the Twenty-First Century by two evil kidnappers named Gary and Hodge. In "Sent" Jonah and Katherine (Jonah was kidnapped from...more

This book was very interesting and somewhat hard to read. In wouldnt read this review if you want to read the first book. In this book famous children from the past have been pulled out of there place in history to be put up for adoption in the future, so the rich people can brag about who there kid was. This is all ok untill people start noticing there absence. Gary, Hodge, and a man named JB are fighting eachother for what they think should be done. Gary and Hodge were the bad guys that were t...more

Find a bunch of historical children with tragic destinies. Collect a planeful and drop them in the 20th century. Now, why, exactly, is it so important to put them back?

I never understood.

But Haddix thinks it's important--at least, replacing the missing children is the premise of her book Sent. The collected princes in Richard III's tower are sent back to the moment of their deaths, with only their friends to save them. But what are the friends saving them from? What are they supposed to do, or...more

After reading Found (Book 1 of The Missing series) I had to read the follow up.
So I spent the next 2 days wrestling my 7 year old for her book. Actually, I really did try to let her have it whenever she wanted it - just stealing it off her side table when she was asleep for the night :)

Found picks up exactly where Sent left off, with Jonah, Katherine, Chip and Alex hurtling through a time warp toward 1483, where Chip and Alex were stolen from time. In their original lives, Chip and Alex were (re...more

The first book of the series was definitely better than this one, and less confusing. I read a few time travel books before, (all with altering the future precautions...and stuff) but this one probably provided more confusion than most.

I liked that it was based on a real historical mystery, but I'm not big on English rule and all, so I wasn't that sure if it was real or not until I looked it up. Tracers were something new, and I liked them. The idea was really neat; I'd rather have them than not...more

Sent is exciting but doesn't have the same WOW factor as Found (I love the way that book begins!)of course, that won't matter to readers eager to discover what has happened to Jonah, Katherine and the other kids from book 1. Sent has a different mission: to take the reader down the path begun in the first book. This installment explores the mystery of the fate of the little princes (Edward V and his brother Richard of Gloucester) who were said to have been murdered by either their uncle (Richar...more

A fast-moving, conspiracy-filled plot made Book 1 of this series - Found - a page-turner. Unfortunately, 99% of Sent takes place in the 1480s where the action moves rather more slowly. Yes, there is a bit of political intrigue, the danger of being discovered, and of course the worry that one will affect time adversely. However, it never feels like the kids are in any real danger and thus this reads like a slightly more intense installment of the Magic Tree House series. This is probably due to t...more

Sent is written by Margaret Peterson Haddix. This book is for teens. The main issue is They have to help Chip and Alex fix time.The setting is in the 1400's. The main characters are Chip he is a king, 13 years old. Jonah time traveler, 13 years old. Alex is a Duke, 13 years old. Katherine is a time traveler 12 years old.
They have been sent back in time to the 1400's. They find out that Chip is King Edward. Alex is his cousin. They need to fix time so that Chips uncle doesn't kill him.

I am such a fan of Haddix. Each of her books takes the reader on a fun, well-crafted adventure of creative design. While I enjoyed this 2nd book in the Missing series, I was often removed from the story with questions about plausibility. Anyone who treads into the science fiction of time travel must establish the rules for time travel as it exists in their story early on in order to prevent confused readers.

Haddix does eventually setup her rules of time travel, but they are late in coming. Perh...more

I really liked the first book, but this one disappointed me. Haddix uses too many current brands in the story (the kids are middle schoolers), so much so that in a few years the story will be dated, and it made me wonder if there was a product placement thing going on here.

Haddix seemed to attempt to discuss the "butterfly effect", i.e. everything impacting everything else in even minute ways, enough to change the outcome of everything, but I think she fell short.

I found the historical part of...more

The second one in the missing series took me a long time to pick up. I was resistant because I couldn't believe that they sent four preteens back to 1483 with only one gadget to help them fix time. It seemed too incredible that they could do what they set out to do.

However, once I picked up the book I was pleasantly surprised to see how it went. There was enough leeway in the part of history they knew and the structure of her universe to give them boundaries to manage. JB is a resource they don...more

I don't know why I'm continuing this series. I guess because I already checked them out from the library and I can read one of these books in an hour and a half. And time travel is cool. I probably should only give this book two stars, but I DID like learning about Richard III and the fact that I'm now planning on reading or watching Shakespeare's play on the subject, I have to give Sent a star just for not only teaching me something new but pushing me to want to learn more. I just have to say t...more

Sent is the second in the Missing series. In this book Jonah, Katherine, Chip, and there new friend Alex travel back in time to 1483 and discover that Chip's true identity is England's Edward V, and that Alex is his younger brother! But when these 4 friends accidently damage time, and find out that if they can't fix it they will not be able to go back to the twentyfirst century!

I kind of dislike this book more than the first book so I gave...more

This book is the second book in the "Found" series. Jonah, Katherine, Chip, and Alex are from the 21st century and are sent back to the 15th century to fix time. Chip is acually King Edward the Fifth and Alex is his younger brother the Prince. Their 15th century dad died and so Chip was automatically king. Right when they arrived in the 15th century, two men sent by their uncle tried to murder them but they survived. They turned invisible and went to the coronation in London. Their uncle was abo...more

Sent starts where Found ended. Jonah, his sister Katherine their friend Chip and Alex “land” in the fifteenth century. Jonah and Katherine were not supposed to time travel to the fifteenth century with Chip and Alex. They could mess up history. With the help of the Elucidator they are able to keep in contact with JB. Upon landing in the fifteenth century Chip finds out that he is Edward the Fifth King of England and France and that Alex is his brother Prince Richard.

The kids find themselves in a...more

Within the in depth reading of this book, it brings you so into it and you cannot put it down. It is non-stop action that will want you to keep reading on and on. This book will not leave you wondering “why did I just read that?” this is a book that will make you want to keep reading throughout the series. The plot summary of going back in time to the 1600’s is great. Trying to fix history to make it better, JB, Katherine and Alex go even farther back into 1483. But of course, it wouldn’t be a H...more

Bought this book and the first from the series for my kids. When they were a lot younger one of our favorite series was called The Magic Treehouse books by Mary Pope Osbourne. In those books a boy and his sister are magically transported to different historical places around the world to witness important historical events. Great series for younger kids for the books are age appropriately short but exciting (and you learn something too). This series, by Haddix kicks it up a notch for middle scho...more
