Welcome to Litsy!

(2008) Opener for a middle-grade time-travel series, which I "read" on audiobook mostly while walking the dog. It''s entertaining, moves along quickly, and delivers what I was looking for in a story to listen to while walking the dog.

Bk 1 of The Missing series: 13 years ago, a plane materialized out of thin air with 36 babies on board and no one at the controls. Jonah and Chip were adopted and now find themselves questioning everything - mysterious forces are at work, including the FBI…

I read this as a young teenager and really liked it. Upon rereading it, I still enjoyed it for the most part. Reading it as an adult, though, I noticed that a lot of the plot points' resolutions were just a little too convenient.

This was a fast-paced, exciting book. I look forward to reading the rest of the series!

The Missing: Book 1- Found is a SF novel about a bunch of babies that just showed up in a plane, eventually we see why these babies are important. This book is best enjoyed as IR. A great source for this book is which includes information on the author as well as guided reading questions https://create.piktochart.com/output/53137925-margaret-peterson-haddix-ke21

One night a plane appeared out of nowhere, the only passengers aboard: thirty-six babies. As soon as they were taken off the plane, it vanished. Thirteen years later, Jonah knows that he's adopted, but he doesn't know that the past and history itself will depend on him more than he ever thought possible.

This SF will grab students‘ interest with a big mystery and a compelling storyline with twists and cliffhangers. It would work great as a LC or even a RA to be read occasionally, with lots to discuss. After finishing the book, students can work in groups to find out more about specific historical names that were mentioned, and contemplate their choices if they were in the main characters‘ shoes.

“Maybe everyone is just waiting for someone else to save them.”

This story is one of many in a series collection. They are filled with adventure, action, and coming of age moments.

This story focuses on a thirteen year old boy, Jonah, who discovers he is one of such “missing”. He teams up with some of his friends who are also missing characters to figure out the identities and intentions of people who smuggled them from the past.

Found by Margaret Peterson Haddix is one of the most interesting SF books! It highlights ESOL straegy 2 and UDL principle 8.4. I would use this book as a LC in my classroom because I think it would be really fascinating and exciting to discuss in groups. I‘d love to see students reactions as they read this mysterious story.

What a curveball! Living a normal life to finding out you might be from the future and they want you back!

This book and picture reminds me of the show manifest and it‘s premise centered around a time warp!

Published in 2008, this historical fiction book takes place in Weiss where time travel is a factor in a plane full of babies that appear out of nowhere. The authenticity is questionable with the story line because it all seems so crazy, however, if time traveling takes place the time periods can be authentic!

(Middle grade book series)

Margaret Peterson Haddix's "The Missing" series takes you back in time over and over again. Visit England in 1483, hang out with the Romanovs, disappear on Roanoke Island, fly with Charles Lindbergh and more.

Found by Margaret Peterson Haddix is a SSYRA winner and a great NF which would make a wonderful LC. This book is about Jonah, his sister Katherine, and their best friend Chip. Jonah and Katherine were both adopted and Jonah decides find out about his past. When they start investigating, Jonah and Chip reveal much more than they wanted too and end up on this journey through time. EL 2, promote cooperation (small groups)

Sifting through and assembling the #puzzlepieces of history is quite the adventure!

Here‘s some #spinepoetry with books from my classrooms.

Found the silver dream,
The key to extraordinary,
The door in the wall

Over sea, under stone,
Inside out and back again.
The ring of sky catching fire,
Every soul a star

This SF, SSYR award winner book would be a awesome PR book. It allows students to open up their minds to different worlds around us and to scenarios that we know to not be true in our world. It keeps you in page after page. This quick read meets EL 1, teach questioning for clarification because certain aspects would make them question the story as it goes along. It also meets UDL 3.3, guide information processing, visualization, and manipulation.

I'm reorganizing the fiction section at my two school libraries by genre. This series has me stumped and I'm hoping my Litsy family can help! Question: Time Travel -- science fiction or fantasy and why? Thanks in advance 🙂

Reread for a project today: An airplane suddenly appears on a tarmac. No pilots or staff, no grown-ups, just 36 babies and no explanation.

Thirteen years later all of the children receive the same message: You are one of the missing.

Full of intrigue and action, this is a fast-paced start to a bestselling series for grade schoolers.

I've read the first few of the series, but not all. Does anyone know how it holds up?

Just started it, but reading by the lake is the best! 💜💜💜
