Description
Jonah, Katherine, Chip, and Alex suddenly find themselves in 1483 at the Tower of London, where they discover that Chip and Alex are Prince Edward V and Richard of Shrewsbury, imprisoned by their uncle, King Richard III, but trying to repair history without knowing what is supposed to happen proves challenging. Author's note includes historical facts about the princes and king.
Description
Jonah and Chip have barely adjusted to the discovery that they are actually the missing children of history when a time purist named JB sends them, along with Katherine and Alex, hurtling back in time to 1483. JB promises that if they can fix history, they can all return to their present-day lives. Now Chip and Alex have to reclaim their true identities—as the king and prince of England. But things get complicated when the four discover that according to the records, the princes were murdered. How can they fix history if it means that Chip and Alex will die? Margaret Peterson Haddix is the author of Found, the bestselling Shadow Children series, Uprising, Running Out of Time, and many more.

I would have liked to have known more about the period of history the characters are sent to, before I began the story. I wish the author would have set the stage a little by giving some brief comments about the time period as an introduction to the story. Overall, I thought that it was a worthy

Sometimes I hate reading a book that just came out, because now I have to wait forever for the next in the series, haha. I'm really enjoying this sci fi/historical fiction by Haddix. I bought book one during the bookfair and I wanted to test it out before cataloging it for the kiddos and right

Chip, Alex, Jonah, and Katherine are stuck in time. They are in the fourteenth century. Will they get back to their time?
LibraryThing member mysteena
Part #2 in The Missing series--can the kids fix time and still stay remain in the present? Part history lesson, part sci-fi, this is a page-turner that will keep you entertained from start to finish!

A great sequel to the first book in the series "Found". I liked reading this book a lot because it was very action packed and exciting. I don't think it was quite as good as the first, but definitely a close call.

I loved this book although i found it to be slightly confusing at times but the more i read the more it made sense I found it to be very thrilling and suspenseful I didn't want to put it down . the same with the others in its series Sabotaged and her newest one Torn

Sent is the second book in the "Missing" series of juvenile fiction. I read the first book in May 2011.
This book takes Jonah and his sister Katherine and two of their friends on a quest into the past, literally, via time travel.

The premise for this series is that some children were removed from their proper time in the past because of what appeared to be inevitable death; another heavy topic.
The author manages to handle both topics in such a way that it makes for fun reading, action, and a bit of historical context for young readers.
Our sons are reading these books. Matt, age 10, read the first book and insisted I begin it! I love that! So, yes, I am along for the ride! I will probably try to start reading book 3 as soon as I am able. W hen will that be?

Margret Peterson also known as Haddix is a very creative writer. She went to school for a degree English and journalism. She writes for kids and teens and has written more than 25 books. She has been named as a New York Times best seller, and awarded
The book I am reviewing is Sent. It is part of a series. It is about two adopted kids who have been taken from the past to be saved from being killed. They are now being sent back to fix time. They don’t want to, so they try to fight the time fixers. They get sent back in to time to actually try and fix time and then…….. This book reminds me of the book Kidnapped.
This is a very good book that I would recommend for people that don’t like to read. The characters in it have lots of humor. In my opinion, it was a good informing book and I would want to finish reading the series. It is based partly on a true setting. It is hard to put it down once you get started. Out of five starts I would rate this book all five *****.

Second in The Missing series. Not as much of a page-turner as the first one, but still enjoyable. Don't know if I'll go on to the third.
LibraryThing member jfoster_sf
Very disappointing. I really liked the first book, but just couldn't get into book two.
LibraryThing member smheatherly2
I enjoyed this mystery, adventure much better than the first. There was more action, a lot of interesting historical events as Jonah and his sister travel back to the 1500s to help save their friend Chip, and his brother Alex from the death they were supposed to succomb to.

This book is the next installment of Jonah, Katherine, and Chips adventure after they find out Jonah and Chip are children stolen from history. Chip and his brother Alex must go back to their real time in the 1400s as the king and a prince of England. Jonah and Katherine follow hoping to save Chip

This is a very satisfying sequel. Now there's a good bit of history thrown in with the science fiction. It's not essential to have read the first book to enjoy this one, but readers will probably appreciate it more if they do read the first.
LibraryThing member librarybrandy
Fast-paced, engrossing, and an interesting idea, but I still just don't connect with any of the characters. Still, I have plenty of kids in my library who will clamor for this installment.

Book 2 of series. Deals with youngsters feelings about being adopted..what they learn in school (or not), can we change history without changing present or our very own future. Good series to make tweens and teens think on time travel and rewriting history.
LibraryThing member DeweyEver
This book was a little confusing and some young boys (target audience) might find it a little hard to work through. There is a lot of talk about time travel and how that effects the future. The characters travel through time and witness "tracers" which is a ghostly image of what people would be

I knew that this entered the "4 star" category when I drove across town to pick up the book from where I left it, after a fitful night of kicking myself for leaving it there. Okay, I admit it. I couldn't WAIT to find out what was going to happen next! I don't usually get THIS enthralled with the
Never having taken a Physics class, nor having any interest in it at all, I cannot typically handle the concept of time travel, as it requires me to think of time in a non-linear way. I can't. It gives me a headache and I see movies like The Terminator as having an inexcusable plot hole, but really it's just me.
This novel is time travel for the feeble minded (at least the feebly science-minded). It all made sense, so therefore it's probably scientifically flawed. For those of you who enjoy time travel movies until the end, when you shake your head and say, "Wait, how can the future have happened before the past?????" this novel is for you. There's none of that. The stock brainiac teen character who explains (probably inaccurately, thank goodness) all of the science to the physics-challenged reader does say that one has to stop looking at time as linear, but the story itself doesn't force you to do that.
The entertainment value of this novel is 5 stars, but it doesn't leave you with anything to think about and didn't change my life in anyway, so I give it 4 stars.
I'm anxiously awaiting the next one, Haddix. You just keep getting better!
