  | Full Text Reviews: Booklist - 07/01/2014 In book seven of the Missing series, Jonah battles time bandits Gary and Hodge, who are blackmailing Charles Lindbergh into transporting babies stolen from the past into the future. The important people in Jonah’s life (including sister Katherine) have been aged back to infants, time paradoxes and traps abound, and Jonah must discover the one path to prevent time from erasing everyone he loves. Plenty of well-integrated backstory lets this lively series continuation stand on its own. Repetitive character introspection sometimes slows the plot, and the time twists can be befuddling, but this makes for an entertaining and informative way to connect young readers to history. - Copyright 2014 Booklist. School Library Journal - 09/01/2014 Gr 9 Up—Jonah must save his town when famous pilot Charles Lindbergh captures his friends and turns all the parents into children. Haddix offers enough recap so that new readers can jump into this as a stand-alone novel, but most will want to start at the beginning. A must-buy where this series continues to draw in fans. - Copyright 2014 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission. Loading...
