Booklist Review

Thirteen-year-old Jonah and his younger sister Katherine are sent back in time to try to help Virginia Dare, but their task is complicated when two additional lost-in-time children suddenly appear, and they discover that someone is tampering with the mission. Haddix skillfully weaves her story around a popular historical mystery (the Roanoke Colony), and the result will please returning readers of the Missing series; new ones can also plunge right in, although a few references will go over their heads. An author's note provides the few facts known about Roanoke and its missing settlers.--Welch, Cindy Copyright 2010 Booklist

Gr 5-9-Shortly following Chip and Alex's rescue from the 15th century, Jonah and Katherine are sent on another time mission in Margaret Peterson Haddix's sequel (2010) to Sent (2009, both S & S). This time the siblings are off to the mysterious Roanoke Colony with a new girl named Andrea, who is actually Virginia Dare, the first English child born in the American colonies, and a dog for company. Their mission goes awry when Andrea loses the elucidator and Jonah and Katherine discover they have been sabotaged by an enigmatic man named Second. As more and more goes wrong with their mission, Jonah, Katherine, and Andrea must attempt to make the best decisions possible with no adult guidance. When two more "Missing" teens are sent, Andrea becomes more confused about how to proceed and the teens end up changing time. Things go from bad to worse when JB finally catches up to them, the saboteur is revealed, and his genius plot sends ripples of changes into history's timeline. Listeners are left eager for more as Haddix ends the book with JB charging Jonah and Katherine with the task of fixing one specific year or losing the correct Time forever. Chris Sorensen delivers an absorbing performance, capturing Jonah's confusion, anger, misery, and determination throughout the exciting story. This thrilling new installment in the series is recommended for libraries that already circulate the first two titles.-Jessica Miller, New Britain Public Library, New Britain, CT (c) Copyright 2011.

Horn Book Review

Jonah and Katherine (Found, Sent) time-travel to Roanoke to restore Andrea to her original identity as Virginia Dare. But sabotage lands them in an unknown year, and they find themselves unsure if it's best to live out events as they first occurred. As the text raises worthwhile questions about the nature of historical record, the characters lend emotional depth to the past. (c) Copyright 2011.

Kirkus Book Review

Book three of the Missing series finds heroes 13-year-old Jonah and his sister Katherine traveling through time to rescue Virginia Dare of the Roanoke colony. Immediately, however, the children discover that their mission has been sabotaged. They lose their communication device, and they don't know when in time they've landed. Suspense builds when Jonah and Katherine realize that time appears to be disturbed, perhaps endangering all of history. Worse, a new character, who may not have the safety of the children in mind, takes charge. Andrea, the real Virginia Dare, insists that she doesn't care if things are going wrong. She wants to find her grandfather, colony governor John White, who traveled to Roanoke to try to rescue his family in 1590 only to find the colony deserted and the colonists vanished. Haddix concentrates more on the action, suspense and mystery in this book with, thankfully, less emphasis on childish tantrums than in previous installments. The plot is internally consistent, too, enhancing both pace and readers' enjoyment. Best of the series so far. (Science fiction. 8-12)]] Copyright Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.

Gr 5–9—This volume picks up immediately where book two left off, with Jonah, Katherine, and Andrea going to the time period when Andrea was kidnapped. She is Virginia Dare, the first English child to be born in the ill-fated Roanoke Colony. During their time journey, the Elucidator is lost, and the children arrive not certain as to where or when they are. Jonah pieces together that Andrea deliberately lost the Elucidator, and she admits she was following the directive of a mystery man who promised that she could stop her 21st-century parents from dying in a car crash if she did what he said. Unsure of what they've been sent back to do, the children decide to try to find the inhabitants of the colony. Along the way they save the life of Andrea's 16th-century grandfather, and she feels more and more that she is supposed to stay with him. Familiarity with the first two books is a must, and even then, this story is somewhat confusing. The integration of background material is not consistently clear, so unless readers have studied the history of the Roanoke Colony, they may not understand what is going on. This plodding novel is plot driven; there is little character development and there are no new hints as to Jonah's historical identity. Readers are told that the group will next go into the 17th century, but they may not have the patience to follow.—Cheri Dobbs, Detroit Country Day Middle School, Beverly Hills, MI
