Reardon threatens to arrest Jonah's parents and deport Jonah.

The children are then taken back to the future for these families to raise as their own. Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: The series involves a future where rich families pay a corporation to go back in time and kidnap certain famous children (usually famous missing children, such as Anastasia and Charles Lindbergh Jr.), while they are babies.no.The Missing is a series of young adult science fiction novels by Margaret Peterson Haddix, in which a group of teenagers discover and get mixed up with an operation using Time Travel to steal famous children from history. Things and people disappear and reappear with no warning (no reasons provided.) Anyway, the babies are adopted throughout the USA when they are 13 years old they are gathered together by 2 groups of bad guys with 2 different, but equally bad motivations (3 groups are potential bad guys, if you count the FBI.) Then, in the middle of the climax, the book ends with 2 of the 13-yr-old adopted boys and one’s younger sibling striking a ridiculous bargain to save everyone by fixing time (they strike this bargain while they are hurtling back in time.) Ummm. In this first book, a group of babies lands on a mysterious plane and they were adopted.

Additionally, I was extremely disappointed that the book ended 3/4 of the way through the story, so I don’t trust the author enough to read any more books in this series. However, the basic premise of the time travel in this book has too many giant logic gaps to allow the reader to become immersed in the story. I usually love time travel books and the concept of this series was quite promising.
