Book: The face on the milk carton.
Author: Caroline B. Cooney

Comments: This a really exciting and good adventure book. It all happened when Janie (the main character) finds her own face on the milk carton. Andy why is it on there? The ads on milk cartons are telling you who has been kidnapped. Now she's going to find out the truth beneath all of this! It's really good, and it was recommended by the owner of the bookstore...you should try it! A little intresting thing: IT'S GOT A REALLY "SURPRISING" END...WHICH WILL MAKE YOU DREAM ABOUT FOR A LONG TIME...

As Tristan tries to find out his mission he has he starts thinking that the accident that he died in wasn't such an accident and that he wasn't the one intended on being killed by the murderer.
