Thirteen-year-old Jonah has always known that he was adopted, and he's never thought it was any big deal. Then he and a new friend, Chip, who's also adoped, begin receiving mysterious letters. The first one says, "You are one of the missing." The second one says, "Beware! They're coming back to get you." Jonah, Chip, and Jonah's sister, Katherine, are plunged into a mystery that involves the FBI, a vast smuggling operation, an airplane that appeared out of nowhere -- and people who seem to appear and disappear at will. The kids discover they are caught in a battle between two opposing forces that want very different things for Jonah and Chip's lives. Do Jonah and Chip have any choice in the matter? And what should they choose when both alternatives are horrifying? With Found, Margaret Peterson Haddix begins a new series that promises to be every bit as suspenseful as her Shadow Children series -- which has sold more than 41/2 million copies -- and proves her, once again, to be a master of the page-turner.

I read this as a young teenager and really liked it. Upon rereading it, I still enjoyed it for the most part. Reading it as an adult, though, I noticed that a lot of the plot points' resolutions were just a little too convenient.

BethM I read this series as a kid too! 3y

Betrinag I love a good mystery book! This type could frío students‘ attention, which makes it a great add for classroom libraries and independent reading. The guided question will help develop deeper level thinking, as well as help teachers keep track of comprehension. Added to my stack! 4y
DrSpalding Yes, we discussed this one in class! This is quality science fiction and is a part of a series that could hook students in to reading multiple novels! 4y

One night a plane appeared out of nowhere, the only passengers aboard: thirty-six babies. As soon as they were taken off the plane, it vanished. Thirteen years later, Jonah knows that he's adopted, but he doesn't know that the past and history itself will depend on him more than he ever thought possible.
First in a series: The Missing

(author: Margaret Peterson Haddix)

This SF will grab students‘ interest with a big mystery and a compelling storyline with twists and cliffhangers. It would work great as a LC or even a RA to be read occasionally, with lots to discuss. After finishing the book, students can work in groups to find out more about specific historical names that were mentioned, and contemplate their choices if they were in the main characters‘ shoes.

kgarzon Sunshine State 2009-10 http://www.haddixbooks.com/pdf/haddix_series_guide_missing.pdf This author‘s resource describes the aforementioned questions and activities in more depth!

EL Strategy 50: For content comprehension use a variety of comprehension activities (KWL would work great for midway through reading, and at the end since more books come after it)
UDL Principle 2.1 Clarify vocabulary and symbols (as you read to ensure comprehension)

DrSpalding Such an excellent series! It is hard to believe that it has been around for 10 years already. Excellent alignment. 5y

This story focuses on a thirteen year old boy, Jonah, who discovers he is one of such “missing”. He teams up with some of his friends who are also missing characters to figure out the identities and intentions of people who smuggled them from the past.

Found by Margaret Peterson Haddix is one of the most interesting SF books! It highlights ESOL straegy 2 and UDL principle 8.4. I would use this book as a LC in my classroom because I think it would be really fascinating and exciting to discuss in groups. I‘d love to see students reactions as they read this mysterious story.

karamank Here are some great resources to go along with this book :https://www.teachingbooks.net/tb.cgi?a=1&aid=341&a2=1 #lae3414sp19 6y
JessicaRosell I love SF books. I tend read those more then others. You can even use this text and link with an author study. 6y
Zmohammad This seems intriguing! I liked the website and the resources it provides🙂 6y
DrSpalding She is a favorite of mine! The science fiction genre is compelling and many children lean towards this as they get older. This would be appropriate for the intermediate grades. 6y

Mehso-so

Published in 2008, this historical fiction book takes place in Weiss where time travel is a factor in a plane full of babies that appear out of nowhere. The authenticity is questionable with the story line because it all seems so crazy, however, if time traveling takes place the time periods can be authentic!

(Middle grade book series)

Margaret Peterson Haddix's "The Missing" series takes you back in time over and over again. Visit England in 1483, hang out with the Romanovs, disappear on Roanoke Island, fly with Charles Lindbergh and more.

Found by Margaret Peterson Haddix is a SSYRA winner and a great NF which would make a wonderful LC. This book is about Jonah, his sister Katherine, and their best friend Chip. Jonah and Katherine were both adopted and Jonah decides find out about his past. When they start investigating, Jonah and Chip reveal much more than they wanted too and end up on this journey through time. EL 2, promote cooperation (small groups)

JayaJ UDL 3.2, highlight patterns, critical features, big ideas, and relationships would work well with this book. Here is a list of discussion questions http://www.haddixbooks.com/pdf/haddix_series_guide_missing.pdf #UCFLAE3414SuB18 6y
DrSpalding I agree, this would make an excellent literature circle. Great idea going to the authors website. 6y

Here‘s some #spinepoetry with books from my classrooms.

Found the silver dream,
The key to extraordinary,
The door in the wall

Over sea, under stone,
Inside out and back again.
The ring of sky catching fire,
Every soul a star

This SF, SSYR award winner book would be a awesome PR book. It allows students to open up their minds to different worlds around us and to scenarios that we know to not be true in our world. It keeps you in page after page. This quick read meets EL 1, teach questioning for clarification because certain aspects would make them question the story as it goes along. It also meets UDL 3.3, guide information processing, visualization, and manipulation.

Susancruz http://www.haddixbooks.com/pdf/haddix_series_guide_missing.pdf the link brings you to the authors website where discussion questions are provided for before and after you read, it also provides questions for the whole series. #ucflae3414f17 7y

DrSpalding The comments from your peers show a lot of support for this SF book and genre. They are fascinating. I believe that more reluctant readers would enjoy this series among others that Haddix has written. Expose them to these great books.❤️📚 7y

I'm reorganizing the fiction section at my two school libraries by genre. This series has me stumped and I'm hoping my Litsy family can help! Question: Time Travel -- science fiction or fantasy and why? Thanks in advance 🙂

Onlaughterandliteracy Science fiction because time travel and fantasy can kind of fall under that category. I wouldn't really consider it fantasy though. Definitely more science fiction. I really wasn't a fan of this book and I'm obsessed with her writing! 8y

Reread for a project today: An airplane suddenly appears on a tarmac. No pilots or staff, no grown-ups, just 36 babies and no explanation.

Thirteen years later all of the children receive the same message: You are one of the missing.

Full of intrigue and action, this is a fast-paced start to a bestselling series for grade schoolers.

I've read the first few of the series, but not all. Does anyone know how it holds up?

SaraFair My son has that one right in his room and said it was really good. I think I will go add to my pile! 8y
