This was really interesting and I enjoyed it, but it felt like all the interesting things happened right at the end and it felt rushed. It also seems based on the ending that the purpose of this book was just to set up the rest of the series. Based on what I can tell the kids are now going to travel through the different time periods that all the different children were from to try and fix the parts of time that were damaged. If that is the case I think this book could’ve been shorter as pretty much everything that happens in it is just a lead up for the other books.

I read these in middle school and decided to revisit because I really liked them at that time.
The first book mainly just sets the stage for the series, then book wraps up just as the real adventure begins!

I liked the book, and the concept was very interesting. However, I feel like the book could have been more concise. The entire book felt more like the first third of a larger book instead of a story by itself.

This book started out with some promise, but just ended up as a great big info dump at the end, somewhere in the midst of which I ceased to care about the characters.
And then there's the fact that the main dumper managed to gather all that information in just an afternoon (by her description). *sigh*

FOUND is a promising start to another Haddix sci-fi/speculative/dystopian series that will be sure to attract fans both old and new. The suspense is almost unbearable; the plot twists unpredictable, yet reasonable. The characters are less well developed than those in her previous books, and Jonah is occasionally a frustratingly cynical and denial-happy protagonist. But young readers may be able to overlook character deficiencies in light of the excitement. Classic Haddix goodness.
