Parents need to know that the emotional turmoil continues in this second sequel, with a horrible invasion of privacy and writing that keeps kids zooming forward.
What's the story?
Janie's boyfriend, Reeve, now living at college, wants to be a radio DJ. Given his chance and desperate for something to say, he begins to tell Janie's story to all of Boston.

This book will fascinate young readers weaving their way through the intricacies of love, loyalty, strength, and weakness.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THESE BOOKS!
Love all these books. Started them in 7th grade and still enjoy picking them up. Kind of confusing, but still REALLY good. READ THEM ALL.

It was ok.
Confusing story. I really liked the first and second book in this mini-series but this was just not really worth my time. To bad.

Not as good as Face on the Milk Carton and Whatever Happened to Janie?....
but still a must read. Once you start the Janie series you MUST finish them. The book was good, but not as good as the previous two. It was still a great book, though.
