THE SHAPE OF LOST THINGS

Sarah Everett

From the author of The Probability of Everything comes a heartfelt exploration of family and change as eleven-year-old Skye reunites with her older brother Finn after he spent three years on the run with their father.
Everett uses a high concept story to explore traditional middle grade themes of change and growing up. Readers of all ages will identify with Skye as she deals with challenges at home, school, and in the relationships she never thought would change. The Shape of Lost Things tackles parental kidnapping and the impact it has on families through the perspective of Skye, whose brother is abducted by their father and returned 3 years later. Sarah Everett is the author of The Probability of Everything as well as several books for teens. Charlotte's Web was the first book that ever made her cry, and while she despises spiders, she still has an abiding love of stories that move her. When she is not reading or writing, she is dreaming about summer, gearing up for her next travel adventure, perfecting her tree pose, or yodeling with her dog. She lives in western Canada.
