True to her style, Margaret Peterson Haddix, has left me hanging and now I must seek out the next book in the series. I enjoyed reading FOUND and my prediction was right about the characters traveling in time. As we leave the main character, Jonah, he is being sent back in time to the fifteenth century. So my inner voice starts to activate my schema on what I know about the fifteenth century. I know that fifteenth century means the 1400's. I start to get a picture in my head of castles, kings, queens, knights, and sword fights. I am wondering when Jonah goes back if he will be a different age? What about his clothes? Will someone be there to help him? What about his adopted parents? Will they ever be reunited?
One thing that bugs me when I finish a book that is part of a series is all the unanswered questions. I would certainly pass this book on and I am looking forward to reading SENT.
Hmm...I am wondering, what does the title Found have to do with the plot of the book? And what do you think the new title Sent might have to do with the next book?
ReplyDeleteI like how you are intentionally using your schema of the 15th Century to help you build background knowledge for the next book. As you move into the second book, keep those questions you asked in your mind, and let us know if you find the answers!
After finishing the book I think I have an answer to your question. Jonah, was one of the babies that was left on the plane at the beginning of the story. He has been FOUND by the people who left him on the plane and allowed him to be adopted out. I am predicting SENT is the title because Jonah is being SENT back to the 15th Century. I would like to read the second book but since it is checked out right now I am going to start a different one. :)
