Review: Lost and Found
Lost and Found is the first book of the Bluford Series. It's about a girl named Darcy and her sister Jamee whose father left them when they were the age of nine and eleven. Five years later, he decides to re-enter their lives. While he was away the family had many struggles. Upon his return, the family is unsure of what to do or how to respond to his return.
I personally enjoyed this book because it has action, drama and mystery. It would be known as an easy read that held my attention from the agony and suspense. This book is a good mixture of family, school and teenage problems, which can connect to real life situations. The author gives descriptions of the places; people and she describe them with actual facts. They pass through true problems, especially Darcy a well-developed character. Anne Schraff was very detailed with the selection, making it easy to picture.
I personally didn’t like how the book is quick paced and how the plot moves very fast. As if it didn’t give you the time to process what was happening. It was a little overwhelming at times. I also didn’t like how it ended it fell flat, it wasn’t enough details. The author left me wondering what happened afterwards.
Even though the story is quick paced and the plot moves very fast and at times didn’t give you time to process what was happening, it was able to catch your attention. It easily became a page turner. At the end it fell flat but throughout the story the details were so intense and realistic it could make up for the ending. Also Bluford books are a series. The author probably left the readers hanging so they could follow the story line in the other books in the series.
In conclusion, I would highly recommend this book to teenagers. This book relates well to high school and teenage relationships. Lost and Found was very interesting to me because the whole thing was full of mystery. This novel isn’t long at all but has a
