THE LOST & FOUND

Katrina Leno

From the author of The Half Life of Molly Pierce, who Publishers Weekly called “a fierce new presence” in a starred review, comes a story of two teens on opposite sides of the country searching for answers – and each other.
LOST
Frannie and Louis met in an online support group for trauma survivors when they were both little, and have been pen pals ever since. They have never met face-to-face. They do not even know each other’s real names. All they know is that they understand each other: They both understand loss – and they both have a mysterious tendency to lose things. Well, not lose them, exactly. Things just seem to...disappear.

FOUND
Louis and Frannie both receive news in the mail – news that sets them off from opposite coasts on a road trip to Austin, Texas. They are both looking for answers – and each other. Along the way, each one begins to find, as if by magic, important things the other has lost. And by the time they finally meet in person, they realize that the things you lose might be things you were not meant to have at all, and that you never know what you might find if you just take a chance.

Katrina Leno is the author of The Half Life of Molly Pierce. She grew up on the East Coast and now lives in Los Angeles, California. She has lost many, many things in her lifetime but hopes that, in the end, what she has found will outweigh all the rest.

The characters and the road trip alone are a winning combination. The premise is where the magic happens.

THE LOST AND FOUND has so many of the things I love—friendship, romance, roadtrips, lots of breakfast sandwiches, and even a little bit of magic. Leno balances humor and sadness beautifully and the relationships all feel warm and true.

Crackles with wit, humor, and enormous love. Savvy readers will know the real “lost and found” refers to the fascinating characters in this riveting tale, who, after enough loss, struggle to find themselves and make each other whole

A rich, romantic story about two thoughtful teenagers on a quest for meaning.

Characters readers can believe in and care about.

A beautiful exploration of loss….Quirky, endearing, and believable characters propel a narrative that pulls readers in with every mile of the road trip. An emotional journey that’s well worth the ride.

A journey worth taking...Fans of Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell and Let’s Get Lost by Adi Alsaid will enjoy The Lost & Found.
