Terrwyn is feeling heartbroken at the moment, so wasn't speaking very much. Still, I managed 1.5k which I'm happy with, especially considering other things that were going on today. Fingers crossed for a better number tomorrow.

‏I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review.

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is one of my favorite books. Being offered the opportunity to read his latest, Lost and Found, is an honor and privilege. I know I am supposed to be unbiased when doing reviews but it was difficult in this case.

Lost and Found is not long, less than 300 pages, and flows wells so it is a quick read. In it, we are introduced to Ezekiel Blast who has a gift for finding lost items. He feels compelled to return his finds. Instead of being thanked, people accuse him of taking the items in the first place. He is friendless and an outcast until a girl walks up to him and asks "Are you really a thief?

This story is charming and engaging. The well-developed characters are endearing. It is being marketed as SciFi and Fantasy as well as Teen and Young Adult. I agree it is a Teen/YA book but, if anything, it is light SciFi and Fantasy. People who do not usually read SciFi and Fantasy will enjoy this story.

I believe I gave an unbiased opinion on this story especially since it is not a typical SciFi and Fantasy book.
