Sent (The Missing Book 2) by Margaret Peterson Haddix takes place immediately after Found (Missing Series #1) ends, where Chip, Jonah, Katherine, and Alex arrive in the year 1483 just as evil King Richard is coming into power in England. It turns out that Chip and Alex were taken, as babies, from the 15th century to "save" them from their terrible fates - death at the hand of their uncle (Richard), who has Edward V (Chip) killed so he can steal the crown. Trying to put history back together, the time police have sent Chip and Alex back to take their rightful places as children of the former king and meet their inevitable fates. Unfortunately, Katherine and Jonah tagged along and are bent on trying to save their friends from dying at the hand of Richard. JB, the one in charge of the time traveling has given them some hints and tips on how to do this without disrupting the flow of time too much, but will they succeed? Will Chip and Alex even want to return to the 21st century after being reunited with their former selves?
This was an awesome book! I absolutely loved learning about the history of 1483 and what happened in England! I really get into historical mysteries like this, so I'm excited to try to learn even more about the young princes and what may have happened to them. I liked this book better than the first book in the series, Found, because of the historical aspect. I'm really looking forward to reading Sabotaged, the third book in the series!
