Whatever Happened to Janie? (Janie Johnson, Bk 2)
reviewed on + 212 more book reviews


Ive always been conflicted about this book. Im a huge what happens next kind of person, but in some way, I dont really want anything more to happen to Janie. Everyone involved in these stories has suffered immeasurably and I very much want things to be better. But life doesnt usually work that way, so why would a book?

Id first like to acknowledge that this story is pretty implausible. I know that most kids who are kidnapped arent really living safely with another family. They dont usually come home. And they definitely dont get to choose anything that goes along with this. But if you set that all aside, I still say this is a reasonably realistic set of books.
