Books like The Voice on the Radio by Caroline B. Cooney

Janie Johnson’s world is still marked by a kidnapping that occurred years ago. Her family, along with her brother Reeve, have begun to settle into a quiet routine, but Reeve’s sudden departure to college leaves Janie isolated. She keeps in touch by e‑mail, yet the distance is palpable. Reeve, overwhelmed by college life, finds refuge working at the campus radio station. In the hope of gaining popularity, he takes on a late‑night show. When he tells an intriguing story on air, the broadcast becomes a sensation, earning him the title “the voice on the radio.” Although confident that Janie will never uncover the mystery behind the show's success, Reeve continues to hide the truth. Janie realizes that the revelations about the mystery girl on the milk carton—and the secrets Reeve keeps—must emerge, no matter the pain. Facing a forgotten past and an uncertain future, she must decide whose voice she will trust as the new chapters of their lives unfold.
