I finished reading this book:( In this book Jonah, Kathrine and Andrea go into the 1600s to fix that time period because Andrea is really Virgina Dare. When travling through time, they lose the elucidator. They soon also realise that they are being sabotaged a person that goes by the name " Second " Will they get back to the 21st century alive? Read this book and the rest of the series to find out!

Sabotage picks up where Sent ended. Basically Jonah and Katherine are bringing those kids snagged out of their time periods to fulfill their destiny in their proper time periods. They can then bring them back to live their lives as they were NOW and all of time and space will not be changed because the paradox. Does that make sense?! Time travel is complicated, don’t believe me ask the Doctor!

Turns out that Andrea, is Virginia Dare, the first English child born in the new world on th More...

Like the other two, Sabotaged is weird, but interesting. I was pleased that Chip wasn't in this one; Katherine did not irritate me nearly as much because of it. And Ms. Haddix manages to make the plotline develop by immediately throwing in a twist, with plenty of others following close at its heels. The end will definitely leave you wanting to read the sequel (due to come out in a few months!).

Despite the plot-twists, I cannot say that Sabotaged was my favorite. When Ms. Haddix starts More...

Andrea is Virginia Dare. Chip and Katherine and a dog, Dare, go to the Lost Colony of Roanoke. Haddix artfully spins a historical fiction story around a true mystery in history, the Lost Colony of Roanoke.

Things go horribly wrong. They are not sure where and when they are sent. A mystery man known as Second manipulates Andrea and threatens the fabric of time. Andrea’s parents died in a car accident in modern times. When she finds her grandfather of the 1500s she does everythin More...

I would actually give this a 2 1/2 stars, but rounded down because it took me so long to finish it--not really pointing to a great book.

Jonah and his sister Katherine must do it again. They must go back in time and save another lost child from history. After saving Chip and Alex from the 15th century, they are now asked to take Andrea, who just so happens to be Virginia Dare-first English child born in America, back to the 1600s. However, even though last time was hard, this time ar More...

Don't ask me why I read this book. I didn't really like "Sent." I liked this one more than #2, but that's really no excuse as to why I picked it up in the first place. I didn't like "Sent" because the science fiction seemed all off and it suddenly went historical fiction (though kudos for tricking all those kids into reading about history), and that's still true in "Sabotaged." What's also true in this one, only seemed even worse, is that the kids take forever to fi More...

I enjoyed this book, as I said with Sentthe book before this. Starting with Found this series is about famous children through time, who we kidnapped to be sold to the people of the future. In Found they found out what happened and what they where. In Sent Jonah and Katherine helped Alex and Chip fix their history as princes of England. Now in Sabotaged they are helping Andrea (Who is Virginia Dare in history) to fix history.

This one was interesting because at least to me, it made you More...

This book was really good! Haddix again proved to us that her writing skills are supreme!
This time, Jonah and Katherine help Andrea, who's really Virginia Dare, get back to her time. It's supposed to be simple, but things go wrong once they lose the Elucidator and find themselves in a different time period then the one they were supposed to be. As they try to figure out what happened to the Roanoke colonists, they realize that there's an even bigger mystery they have to solve - who sent th More...

Imagine going on a camping trip? Just you and your friends out in the wilderness. Your thinking about how easy the trip will be, some hiking, a couple days of camping and then you’ll head back home. But all of a sudden, a flash storm comes up and destroys your GPS and phone, your only connections to the outside world. You are now lost and without contact to the outside world. This is like what happened to Jonah, Katherine, and Andrea, all of them have lost their connection to the outside wo More...

Sabotaged is the third book in The Missing series, the follow up to Found and Sent. Unfortunately, it's not quite as good as it's predecessors.
Sabotaged follows Jonah and Katherine as they try to help right time with the next stolen child on the list - Andrea. They are sent back to 1610 to help her fulfill her destiny as the person she was originally - Virginia Dare, first English child to be born in America and one of the lost colonists of Roanoke.
I was psyched to read this one! Hadd More...

A nice bridge in The Missing series, though I personally liked Sent the best.
Haddix combines "modern teen" with a great way to learn about history.
This particular story takes place in the Roanoke Colony, which is one of the most intriguing historic stories, in my view. The author plays on the known account of this story, where John White leaves the colony, only to return to a deserted island and the word Croatoan etched on a tree. The characters actually find th More...

Growing up in North Carolina, I was always fascinated with the story of the Lost Colonly. What happened to the group of settlers, including Virginia Dare--the first English baby born in the New World--that mysteriously disappeared? The only clue they left was the word Croatan carved into a tree.

In Margaret Peterson Haddix's third book in The Missing series, Jonah and Katherine find themselves on Roanoke Island with Andrea (really Virginia Dare) and a shaggy sheepdog named Dare. From More...

This is a series that my teenage granddaughter and I started a couple of years ago. Even though this is meant for younger readers; I am personnally interested in learning what will happen next.

The third book in the Lost Series, of course...leaves you wanting to read more. The first book begins with a plane filled with nothing but unaccompanied infants and todlers. It appeard that futuristic time travelers have gone through time, nabbing famous child historical figures to sell to the More...

I had read the previous books in this series years ago when I was around 11 years old. I had pretty good impressions of the first books and couldn't wait to read the 3rd and 4th books. It turns out that I was moderately surprised at them. Probably because the gap between me reading the 2nd book and the 3rd book was about 2 years. You know, it's that time in your life that creepy stuff starts happening to you, physically and mentally, which is what probably influenced my opinion on this novel. Th

If you are someone who likes to read mystery/thriller books this is for you. I think it is a great book for all ages because I like how the protagonists in the book are younger then me which helps me compare it to what my life used to be like in middle school. The main characters are Jonah, Katherine, and Andrea. They are all about the same age and they all came from different time periods, except Katherine who is from the twenty-first century. the mystery in the book is where are they and what More...

Sabotaged is a wonderful book that I enjoyed reading. It is the third book in the missing series, and I think it is the best one out of them. The storyline is simple, yet interesting at the same time. It is about 2 kids who travel back in time to help a young girl find her grandfather and save time as well. However, things are not as easy as it seems as surprises jump out at them from every corner. This book is unique because it ties history together with the plot without making the book boring More...

I have enjoyed reading this series. Jonah and his sister Katherine get to go back in time,yet again to save one of the missing children from the past. This is the mysterious story of Virginia Dare, little is known about her in history. I found this book interesting. It made me think of what the possibilities would be if you could go back & change something that has happened in the past. What would be the consequences of doing so? I really am looking forward in seeing who Jonah was in the p More...

The book Sabotaged from the series The Missing by Margaret Peterson is the third in its series. The book Sabotaged is about two time travelers, Jonah and Katherine who are trying to help Andrea, one of the missing children. They have to put Andrea back in time were she was taken from to fix time. Due to the diabolical character Second, the villain who is trying to destroy time, makes them lose the Educator. With the educator lost, their only way to communicate with JB is gone. Without JB’s dir More...

MPH takes us back in time to the Roanoake colony and Virginia Dare is the historical star of this book. Fortunately, costarring are two other kidnapped from time kids, boys who were part of the Algonquin Indian tribe, so that puts us at something like 30-31 kids left whose stories we need to hear. One thing I didn't like about this one is that the book didn't really end. We still don't know what Virginia Dare's resolution is and it seems that the story will continue into the 4th book in the seri More...

This is the third book in "The Missing" series. The main characters in this story travel through time to Roanoke Colony, the "lost colony" to return one of the missing to her time. However, the trip is sabotaged and this threatens the ability of the time travelers to return to modern times. They must figure out who has sabotaged the trip and why before it is too late.

"Sabotaged" by Margaret Peterson Haddix is about 3 kids named Jonah, Katherine and Andrea this book is a sci fi book about time travel. This is the 3rd book in the series the storyline behind them is that famous or important people from history where stolen through time travel and were to be taken back to the future to make money from having them be adopted. But the plane they were using to take them back crashed into our time and the kids were adopted as normal people in the 21st cent More...

I still love the concept behind this series, although I found this book to be less captivating than the first two.

This time, Haddix's time traveling series takes us to early America where Andrea learns that she is actually Virginia Dare. However, immediately upon arriving, the kids find themselves in lots of trouble. They've lost the Elucidator (which allows them to communicate with the time-travelling adults who are helping them) and it seems that someone out there is trying to sabo More...

I thought that this series would be a trilogy. I was wrong, this is just the third installment. The book's ending is unresolved and leads to another book.

I enjoy historical fiction, this book happens in the year 1600 in Roanoke Colony, or should I say what was left of Roanoke. An English settlement disappeared. The only clue was the word 'Croatoan' carved into a log. A baby girl was the first settler to be born in the America's. Her name was Virginia Dare. In this story, Andr More...

I decided this series was too young for me, but my prior fascination with Roanoke made me curious enough to stick with it a third time and read it.

Though I was highly interested in the subject matter, this 3rd installment was the least enjoyable for me of the series. However, I would still highly recommend it for my 10 year old son (an advanced reader) for fun g-rated adventure combined with a mini-history lesson.

This series is now my biggest rec. for the juvenile age g More...

In the third book in The Missing series, Jonah and Katherine travel back in time with Andrea, who is really Virginia Dare, to help her return to her proper time in history. What should be a straightforward mission becomes complex and they lose the Elucidator, the tool that helps them understand languages and control time travel, and become caught in a conflict between time travelers. This volume in the series has less sense of urgency and seems longer than needed, but readers will still look f More...
