About this listen
“It’s impossible to read a book by Holly Goldberg Sloan without coming away wiser, kinder, and happier. She is a singular talent indeed.”—Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal–winning author of The One and Only Ivan
Cordy Jenkins is searching for something that will change her life, and for the safety that vanished when her father died. She is convinced that if she just tries hard enough, she will find part of what her family lost, which will stop her mom from wanting to leave the small town she and her little brother have always called home. What Cordy finds instead is a muddy, hungry little dog with bad breath. And he's the start of her family's new beginning.
You’ll fall in love with Cordy and her family as they fall in love with the stray pup named Lost. Full of unforgettable moments, family, and warmhearted humor, Finding Lost is a tender story of making peace with the inevitable truth: that change is a constant, and that after profound loss there is still always the possibility of unexpected joy.
Critic Reviews
“Finding Lost is a moving gem of a dog story, full of love and life and heart and healing.”—Dan Gemeinhart, bestselling author of The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise
“This is a tender, funny, and utterly charming novel that shows us life through a grieving middle schooler's eyes as she learns that change doesn't always mean loss.”—Alison McGhee, award-winning author of Telephone of the Tree
“It’s impossible to read a book by Holly Goldberg Sloan without coming away wiser, kinder, and happier. She is a singular talent indeed.”—Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal-winning author of The One and Only Ivan
“I loved this engaging story with its endearing characters and immensely satisfying ending.”—Ann Martin, Newbery Honor-winning author of A Corner of the Universe
★"Sloan populates her story with well-realized adult characters who genuinely show up for children. The Oregon setting isn’t mere backdrop; Cordy’s fascination with marine life, from molting crabs to a rare pink dolphin, is woven seamlessly into her emotional journey. Sloan’s gentle wisdom shines through: “So much stuff is how you choose to see it.”—Kirkus, starred review
★"Cordy’s unrealized passion for the ocean as well as her open-minded ponderings about life add depth to the leisurely paced narrative, while perceptive, kindhearted adult characters ground this hopeful story in a sense of community. ” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
"First-person narration invites the reader into Cordy's introspective mind, as she follows her curiosity and learns not all change is bad. A fabulous cast of characters, from the loving librarian to Button's elderly neighbor, make this small Oregon town feel real. ” —Booklist
