Book Reviews of The Lost Thing
Book Review: Haunting, whimsical, wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first online book review I've ever been moved to write.
The story is sophisticated (few kids' books I know of dare first-person narration; fewer still go beyond a neatly-put-to-bed ending), yet it is both accessible to a young audience, and engaging for the adults.
The Lost Thing is cinematographic in its detailed, industrial-style illustations. The matter-of-fact storytelling about an extraordinary experience somehow add to the magic.
This is one of the books my kids will examine for ages, "reading" long before they can really read.
Wonderful.
