Skytrails still pays her for her “disabilities”. That is, she’s insane. • JB: Short for Janitor Boy, as Katherine calls him. JB tries to help the kids • E: Short for Enemy. The E is a group of people who say they try to save kids from different time periods, but their intentions don’t seem to be good…
Plotline • 13 years ago, Angela notices that an odd plane enters the airport. The plane had no pilot, but instead, babies! • 13 years later, Chip moves to Jonah’s neighborhood. They became friends. • All of a sudden, they receive a letter saying “ YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING” Then, another letter arrives. It says that “they” are out to get them. • Chip, Jonah and Katherine do research and figure out that Chip and Jonah came from a plane built in the future. • They try to ask people, like Angela, how and what the plane is and who are they. • The kids get stuck in a cave with the E.

Then, Angela goes insane and aims her gun at Jonah. • JB uses a time travel device and takes Chip, Jonah and Katherine to 15th century England.
Conflict Nooo! • Jonah, Chip and Katherine V.S. E: The E try to make money from “rescuing” children from the horror of the past, and “then undo the damage”. • JB V.S. E: JB tries to save the children from the E. • Jonah and Chip V.S. Themselves: Who are Jonah and Chip? Oh Brother!
Any Resolutions??? • JB sends Chip, Jonah and Katherine to the 15th Century after the E’s plan is stopped. • Who are Jonah and Chip?
Theme • The theme is to be persistent in doing research… • Also, you never know if a friend is really being an enemy. • Remember to choose wisely… (choose a shape)
Book Review Book Review I think that this book is great. First, there’s a bit of suspense and mystery as the characters try to solve a mystery of their life. Second, part of this book reminds me of a time some people tricked others into trusting them. Lastly, I’m wondering about who Chip and Jonah really are. So go ahead, read this book!
