THE VOICE ON THE RADIO
Caroline B. Cooney
Hardcover Delacorte Books for Young Readers | Juvenile Fiction | September 1996 | $15.95 | 0-385-32213-5 | Ages 12 up

The kidnapping is long past. Janie Johnson is relieved that life seems to be settling down for the Springs and the Johnsons. But Reeve Shields, Janie's boyfriend, is away at college, and she misses him terribly, no matter how many e-mails they send each other.

As for Reeve, he's finding life at college overwhelming. He goes to work at the school radio station, hoping a late-night gig will give him what he craves: popularity and fame. Reeve gets his chance to be the voice on the radio, and when he tells the most fascinating story he knows, his show becomes a sensation. Reeve is so sure that Janie will never discover what's making his broadcast such a hit that he doesn't stop himself. But what will be the price for Janie? Whose voice will help her when she must face not only her incredible past but her unknown future?
