WANTED was full of action, drama, and mystery. In one part, Alice sneaks into a girl’s shower and hides from the group looking for her and the girl in there says nothing. In the story, a girl named Alice has been set up for murdering, if her father. She has to prove that she is not guilty and find out who killed him before she is found. Caroline B Cooney also wrote The Face on the Milk Carton, The Voice on the Radio, Code Orange, and many more. I really liked this book because my friend would always get into trouble and he would try to change his look so that the cops would not find him, and that is what Alice does so they won’t find her. (It never worked for my friend). So overall, I think that this book was really good because it makes you wonder who is good and who is bad. I recommend this book to all mystery readers. ( )

Cooney has written a tight plot for this thriller, and the suspense doesn't let up until the very last page. Although Wanted! shows the main character, a typical teenage girl, confronting anguish, confusion, and fear after she witnesses the murder of her father, the story nevertheless maintains the pace of a thriller, and the action is consistently seen from the point of view of a teenager, whose tendency is to look toward the necessities of the moment rather than to dwell in the major catastrophe that has just befallen her.

Loved this book, an easy quick read finished it in one sitting. Cooney is great in being able to hook you into the book :) I was wanting to run and hide myself while reading it, def. a must read for susupense lovers :) ( )

Alice Robie receives a phone call from her extremely excited father. He instructs her to bring some computer disks named TWIN to the ice cream parlor where they often ate. When Alice decides to change and get ready, the intruder arrives. She hides under her father’s corvette and waits for the man to leave. The killer speaks to her and Alice recognizes his voice. While waiting for her father, she learns she has been set up and someone sent her mother an email confessing that she murdered her father. This story has Alice running from the police in malls, sleeping in other student’s rooms in the university and even stealing cars to try and figure out who killed her father. This book would be great for strong readers in middle and all at the high school level who enjoy fast-paced who-dun-nits. ( )
