Ms. Johnson’s Book Recommendation 

The Face on the Milk Carton

Mystery; F COO

Description: Imagine your 15, living your life, then one day you see your face and it's for a missing child. But you have great parents. Parents that you love and who love you. Maybe you were wrong because a 3 year old would be able to remember being kidnapped. Right?
