Ezekiel Bliss has a micropower - he can find lost objects and return them to their owners. But when an FBI Agent asks for help on a missing person's case Ezekiel's power is put to the ultimate test.
Having loved Enders Game when I was younger, I was excited to read something new from Orson Scott Card. However, Lost and Found seemed to fall a bit flat - I wasn't really sure what it was trying to be. There was an element of sci-fi introduced via the weird micropowers - I liked Ezekiels ability but all the rest didn't quite seem to match up to his. It felt like Scott Card had a great idea for his main character but then ran out of ideas trying to extend it to everyone else. There's a crime element to the story as well which I did enjoy - the kidnapping story line together with Ezekiel's power was interesting and fast paced. Then there was a kind of coming of age/embracing who you are/learning to love someone part which to me just felt awkward. Beth and Ezekiel's relationship felt very two dimensional - the dialogue was clunky and felt forced and at times they spoke like children who were a lot younger than the 14 years old they were supposed to be.
There was also a lot of unnecessary dialogue which I found myself skipping over - repetitive conversations that didn't go anywhere or lines that felt too much like they were trying to be intellectual or witty but didn't quite hit the mark. There were a couple of jarring remarks in the book to sexuality as well that I found a little dangerous in a young adult book - implying that Ezekiel would have to be 'brain-dead or completely not-male' to not notice a female character's breasts for example. There is one part of the book that suddenly takes a turn for the creepy which I really enjoyed but wish that one of the characters involved was explored in more depth from this (no spoilers).
Overall Lost and Found was a bit of a disappointment - it has potential but clunky dialogue and stilted characters meant it didn't really work for me. Thank you to NetGalley & Blackstone Publishing for the chance to read the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
