I found

a knock-off of a T.V. show. It all started with the Anthony Elementary Scholastic bookfair. Scholastic sent the school a promotional video to get the students excited for some of the books that were going to be sold at that book fair. One of the featured books was Found by Margaret Peterson Haddix. I couldn't locate the exact video from Scholastic but here is something similar from youtube:



So needless to say I was all jazzed up about reading the book. The book fair came and I purchased the book and read it in a night. I was hooked right away and found it really intense until I only had about 100 pages left. At that point I pretty much knew exactly what was going to happen and which T.V. show had almost that same exact plot going on!!!!!! The whole thing just struck me as really odd that she would take a page from a T.V. show...usually that sort of the thing is the other way around. I am not going to say which T.V. show I am referencing because that really would give the whole thing away. At the same time, I am not going to continue with the series for Found and I don't recommend it.
