The Face On The Milk Carton


                    I just finished reading this intriguing book called The Face On The Milk Carton by Caroline b. Cooney.  In this book the main character Janie sees a face on a milk carton she's drinking and she realizes that the face is her face. When she confronts her parents about it, they tell her the cold hard truth. Her parents are actually her grandparents and how it might be a possibility that her mother did kidnap her. Janie has a lot of strong relationships in this book that really help her.
                   One of Janie's strong relationships is with her boyfriend Reeve. Though Reeve was a part of Janie's life before the book started, their relationship really grew through out the book. In the beginning of the book Janie and Reeve were good friends but reeve was older and always thought of her like a little sister. For example in the book The Face On The Milk Carton it says "Come on tell Uncle Reeve, your like my little sister, come on little Janie." As you can see Janie and Reeve are close but not in the way that she wants.
                    But then in the middle of the book Janie and Reeve relationship really grows. For example in the book The Face On The Milk Carton it says "He grabbed her waist and swung her around, then stood very still and kissed her."As you can see Janie and Reeves relationship grows fast but he also stops thinking of her as a little sister.
                    In conclusion the fact that Janie's relationship grew so fast helped her a lot through out the book because Reeve was there for her when she needed him.
