A few minutes later Jonah’s sister sees a person appear and disappear right before her eyes as she sits alone in the office. They discover that Jonah became an orphan under mysterious circumstances (which are top secret and cannot be revealed). Thus far, this book isn’t science fiction, but that all changes when Jonah and his family visit the FBI agent. His parents are put into contact with an FBI agent who might have previously unknown information about Jonah’s adoption. It reads, “Beware! They’re coming back to get you.” Jonah doesn’t tell his parents about the letters, but he asks them to call the adoption agency. Could the two of them really be missing? Could their birth parents be looking for them? Then they both receive a second letter. The two boys quickly decide that if Chip didn’t even know he was adopted, and no one else they know got a letter, something strange is going on. His parents have kept it a secret from him all this time. Chip goes to Jonah in total shock later that day. Chip tells his parents about the letter, and tells them that the letters can’t be someone making a joke about adoption because he’s not adopted. But then his friend Chip gets a letter too. At first Jonah believes it’s someone playing a joke on him (someone that knows he’s adopted). It reads, “You are one of the missing,” and it has no name or return address on it.
Jonah’s average life gets upset big time when he receives a letter in the mail one day. He and his sister annoy each other and bicker like many other brothers and sisters do. He has a younger sister named Katherine (who’s not adopted). He’s thinking of trying out for his school’s basketball team. If you judge them based on all the books about adoption (and Jonah has read them all) they are perfect adoptive parents. His parents have been very open and honest. Jonah has known he was adopted his whole life. The next paragraph is free of spoilers, so read on!
Secondly, this story is pretty simple to begin with, but toward the end it gets complicated! What I’ve decided is that I will summarize in two paragraphs, one with spoilers and one without. For one thing I don’t want to give away the ending. What a great fast paced story! But when I first began to think about summarizing it, I had some doubts.
