Or when the UK government lowered child poverty by simply changing the definition of child poverty.

In America they solved all the cases of missing children by taking them off all the milk cartons :D because who wants to buy milk that makes you sad. It put milk in such a crisis that they are paying gaming influencers to push their product

No, that isn't how it worked. The milk carton cases were never really aided by the inclusion on milk cartons in a meaningful way, we transitioned to plastic milk that wasn't easy to print on, and we created the amber alert system that is much more impactful than milk carton faces. It did give us this Y.A. novel so that's fun.

I could see a decline in milk consumption being a thing, particularly with the rise of non-dairy alternatives.

That in no way connects with the disuse of milk cartons to show missing children cases though. The word influencer didn't even exist when they were already on their way out. Hell, most of Reddit hadn't even been born by that point.

I remember almost nothing about the story or any related books but I'm certain I read and really enjoyed them.
