What is Found - The Missing about?
Thirteen-year-old Jonah has always known he is adopted, but he has no idea why. When mysterious messages appear telling him that he is “one of the missing”, Jonah, his sister Katherine and their friend Chip begin investigating their pasts. Their search leads to a decades-old mystery involving an aeroplane full of babies, secret adoptions and children taken from history. As danger closes in, the friends uncover a startling truth about who they are—and why someone wants them back.
