I need to rate this whole series with 5 stars. It ranks 5 stars with the genre (YA) and 5 stars on my overall ranking. This whole series is great and this 5th book makes it come together. Great job, Haddix. I'm now waiting impatiently for the last two books to be released this fall and early next year!

I loved this series in middle school, and I love it as an adult! While all the books are good I think this one is the best in the series!!(even better than the first one)

This one simultaneously annoyed me so much but it redeemed itself in the end. Loved the Einstein history. Pretty wholesome ending

This book is one of the best in the series after Found. There's a greater suspense in the plot, the historical character of Mileva Einstein is a fascinating character, and we have some interesting reflections of how the events of the series so far weigh on how much free will we really have. Haddix has had Christian references/themes before in this book and the other books, but we had some of the most interesting thoughts here, although they're rather short. With a lot of these books in The Missing series, the book depends a lot on how interesting the historical situation is. Caught portrays one of the most interesting situations so far, making it a strong addition to the series.

This book was just as inspiring as the rest, I look forward to reading more. The best part was this quote:

"What if it turns out that everyone's important?" JB asked. "Everybody
that's ever lived, in all of history."

I hope that all people someday feel important sentiment!
