Imagine that you are adopted and you want to find out more about your birth parents. Thirteen year old Jonah asks his parents a few questions and because they've read every parenting book on adoption and believe in being cooperative and truthful, they start the process of inquiry. This leads to more than they bargained for. Mysterious letters come in the mail and people appear and disappear. Jonah's friend Chip finds out he too is adopted. Even Katherine, Jonah's younger sister gets involved in the puzzle, and she is successful in getting some names of other adopted children. Where did the babies come from? Each chapter deals with a new predicament and I found myself glued to the pages. I think this science fiction novel is a great choice for a Maud Hart Lovelace Nominee.
