Anatomy of Lost Things

Praise

★ “Sad, funny, and thematically rich; loaded with feels and appeals.”—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
 
“An enjoyable read with a pleasing construction. Perfect for readers looking for someone who mirrors their challenges.”—Booklist

“Stout treats the kids’ fears with tenderness and brings nuance to the ways all three kids miss the adults in their lives. . . For a book dealing with such weighty topics, though, it sure is fun, combining mystery and the imagined history of objects, with just a touch of communing with the dead.”—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

“Folksy third-person prose renders the characters’ alternating perspectives as well as varying digressions, making for a leisurely paced narrative that builds toward credible—including one fittingly offbeat—resolutions.”—Publishers Weekly
