Reviews
Once there were two sisters who did everything together. But only one
of them disappeared.
New York Times-bestselling author Jacqueline West's Long Lost is
an atmospheric, eerie mystery brimming with suspense. Fans of Katherine
Arden's Small Spaces and Victoria Schwab's City of Ghosts series will
lose themselves in this mesmerizing and century-spanning tale.
Eleven-year-old Fiona has just read a book that doesn't exist.
When Fiona's family moves to a new town to be closer to her older
sister's figure skating club--and far from Fiona's close-knit group of
friends--nobody seems to notice Fiona's unhappiness. Alone and out of
place, Fiona ventures to the town's library, a rambling mansion donated
by a long-dead heiress. And there she finds a gripping mystery novel
about a small town, family secrets, and a tragic disappearance.
Soon Fiona begins to notice strange similarities that blur the lines
between the novel and her new town. With a little help from a few odd
Lost Lake locals, Fiona uncovers the book's strange history. Lost Lake
is a town of restless spirits, and Fiona will learn that both help and
danger come from unexpected places--maybe even from the sister she
thinks doesn't care about her anymore.
New York Times-bestselling and acclaimed author Jacqueline West weaves
a heart-pounding, intense, and imaginative mystery that builds
anticipation on every page, while centering on the strong and often
tumultuous bond between sisters. Laced with suspense, Long Lost will
fascinate readers of Trenton Lee Stewart's The Secret Keepers and fans
of ghost stories.
