This has all the makings of a classic, and readers will be clamoring for just one more chapter. Perfect to be read late into the night.\"\u003cbr\u003e“Deep in the mystery room, Fiona finds a book on the shelf that does not appear to belong to the library. . . . This book is a captivating narrative that draws the reader into two stories of two sisters living over a century apart. The stories of Fiona and Arden, and of Hazel and Pearl, parallel each other as both sets of siblings drift apart. . . . A spooky sisterhood mystery that is sure to be a hit with readers.”\u003cbr\u003e“A mysterious book leads a girl into a century-old supernatural mystery. . . . Reading this book within a book, Fiona learns about characters Hazel and Pearl . . . Although the two sets of sisters have different relationships and dynamics, the complexity of sisterhood links both storylines, resulting in nuanced relationships. . . . Grab a flashlight and stay up late with this one.”\u003cbr\u003e“In a spooky middle grade love letter to libraries and the mystery genre, West crafts a spellbinding exploration of sisterhood. . . . Alternating a contemporary third-person narrative with the found book’s parallel telling, West draws readers into a supernaturally tinged dual story, simultaneously offering an authentic portrait of sibling angst.”\u003cbr\u003e“A mysterious uncatalogued book at the local library proves a welcome distraction from new-town blues, and Fiona becomes absorbed in the book’s story of two sisters, Hazel and Pearl, only to find that the pages go blank after one of them disappears. . . . A series of increasingly eerie incidents occur as she investigates. . . . [\u003cem\u003eLong Lost\u003c\/em\u003e] will please mystery lovers, while chills and thrills satisfyingly intertwine with the focus on sisterly relationships.”\u003cbr\u003e“Eleven-year-old Fiona blames her older sister Arden for their family’s move to the ‘quaint’ (fictional) Massachusetts town of Lost Lake. . . . Finding solace in the town’s library, Fiona discovers a mysterious book called \u003cem\u003eThe Lost One \u003c\/em\u003ethat tells the story of two sisters . . . one of whom disappeared a hundred years ago. . . . What starts as rather a cozy mystery—small town, quirky librarian, strange book—builds up to a spooky denouement . . . Readers will be eager to learn the fates of both pairs of sisters.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTexas Bluebonnet Award, Minnesota Book Award, Junior Library Guild Selection, IndieBound Indie Next List\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780062691750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Greenwillow Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":41136951066830,"sku":"9780062691750","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/9780062691750_1ddc2883-10e6-4f25-8259-678e4a6dd4e3.jpg?v=1652129849","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780062691750","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
