Cooney’s persistent cliffhanger style keeps you greedily flipping the page chapter after chapter, anxious to resolve the mystery or discover a new twist. Cooney’s The Face on the Milk Carton deserves some credit: twenty years after its publication, audiences continue to be captivated by heroine Janie Johnson when she discovers her face on a missing child advertisement. Nathalia says: “About as Tasteful as Sour Milk” Nathalia Oliveira and Ali DeChancie of the CMWR each wrote a review of the book, partly as a way to analyze some of the author’s literary choices from opposing perspectives, and partly as a way to settle our differences with the book and just become casual acquaintances. The students enjoyed the book and our discussions were interesting, but the CMWR staff was a bit less… enthusiastic in our reviews. Over the DePaul summer term, the CMWR held a weekly Book Club in collaboration with the English Language Academy, and our selection was the teen-fiction thriller The Face on the Milk Carton, the first installment of a four-part series and the subsequent inspiration for a TV-movie adaptation.
