Sent (The Missing, Book 2)

The second book in Haddix's series rejoins the characters in the 15th century. While the end of the first book propelled the reader anxiously into book two, the reader's arrival there is anticlimactic.The plot becomes weighted with somewhat confusing scenes of tracer beings and historical anomalies. I am even more certain now that this text does not meet its identified audience. The book is marketed to readers who are too young for it. While the characters are 12, the text's readers must be several years older to deal with the plot twists and complex explanations. It is this complexity and its resulting confusion that makes the book a disappointment. The need for these explanations into tracers and historical records does not allow the reader to come out of book one and hit the ground running as hoped. I can only look forward to book three and anticipate that it will move more rapidly and suspensefully because it will not require any further explanations of tracers and Elucidators.

Second in the series; not as interesting as the first(Found), but still a great read. Not every book in a series can be the best. Her previous series, Shadow Children, was fantastic but had lows and highs in regards to holding a high level of suspense. Looking forward to Sabotaged, the third book in this series.The historical content is good exposure to events that are quite obscure to the average middle school student, who would most likely not know how events turned out or who is considered a villain and who a hero. The manner in which the Time Fixers explain how history is written by the victors will encourage people to be open to alternative views of what was what and who was actually the bad guy.

Bought this for my nephew as he loves the series and he just plowed right through the book and onto the next one.

I was bored so I picked up several books and read the first couple of pages. I was bored with the first 2-3 that I picked up. When I got Found I was almost about to give up looking for a book. I began reading it and could NOT stop reading it! I went home and read it a few hours and was done with it the next day. I went to Amazon and ordered SENT again, I was so hooked! I couldn't put the book down. I had to find out what was going to happen. I was never bored reading any of it. Haddix is an amazing writer. I had not read any of her books, but now I'm going to order the rest of her books. I've been telling everyone I know about he book, trying to get them to read it.

This book by the name of Sent is AMAZING! The characters are deep, the story makes want to keep on reading it, and the length of the book is just right. But I will have to admit I think the first book just had a better storyline. Overall I would still recommend this book to anybody who is looking for a funny, epic, and joyful experience, I would say to look here.Zach

I read the first book Found for summer reading last year and I thought it was very boring. This year we had this book as summer reading. I was very bored up until about half way through. The action picked up and I started enjoying it more and more. I ended up not being able to put it down and finished it the next day. So even if you didn't care for the first book(like me), I would still suggest reading this book.

My fourth grade granddaughter loves this series of books. Margaret Haddix is a most engaging author. Her books appeal to both reluctant readers, voracious readers, and those in-between. For this summer's reading, my granddaughter and I will be reading Haddix's Running Out of Time, which has so many opportunities for discussion and broadening her knowledge base about several topics.

I'm not going to do a whole summary about the book I'm just going to say that this was a good book. I thought it was a little confusing with the tracers and you have to get used to that. there was a lot of suspense and some action that I really enjoyed.Anyone who has read the first book should read this one.

Good book for children and..as usual..very fast delivery.

a wonderful addition to our library

As expected.

my son enjoys this series of books. He is not much of a reader, but he does read these books
