Found
Found (The Missing, Book 1)
Thirteen-year-old Jonah has always known that he was adopted, and he's never thought it was any big deal. Then he and a new friend, Chip, who's also adoped, begin receiving mysterious letters. The first one says, "You are one of the missing." The second one says, "Beware! They're coming back to get you." Jonah, Chip, and Jonah's sister, Katherine, are plunged into a mystery that involves the FBI, a vast smuggling operation, an airplane that appeared out of nowhere -- and people who seem to appear and disappear at will. The kids discover they are caught in a battle between two opposing forces that want very different things for Jonah and Chip's lives. Do Jonah and Chip have any choice in the matter? And what should they choose when both alternatives are horrifying? With Found, Margaret Peterson Haddix begins a new series that promises to be every bit as suspenseful as her Shadow Children series -- which has sold more than 41/2 million copies -- and proves her, once again, to be a master of the page-turner.

Jonah was adopted when he was a child, but he never minded. His parents were very open with him about it. He and his friend were playing basketball when Jonah received a mysterious letter without a return address. He thought it was a prank letter. Then, he found out that Chip, his friend, received one also. Chip asked his parents if he was adopted as well, and they tell him he was. Now, Jonah and Chip are out to find who is sending them the mysterious letters. However, they discover a plot that they must unravel before it is too late.
