Long Lost by Jacqueline West 🟌🟌🟌🟌🟌

“Long Lost” is a tale of two sets of sisters that lived one hundred years apart. The family of 2020’s has moved to Long Lost, MA so the older sister, Arden can chase her dream of becoming an Olympic figure skater. It seems to Fiona, the younger sister, she is aways playing second fiddle to Arden. Fiona enjoys hanging out at the library and this is where she goes when her family only has time for her sister. Here she finds a mysterious book that travels around town and writes its own story as she is reading it. The story is about Hazel and Pearl the second set of sisters and the death of one of them. It is up to Fiona to find the truth about the death of Hazel.

“Long Lost” is a ghost story with an abundance of creepy characters. I really enjoyed the steps that Fiona takes to solve the mystery of Hazel’s death. The parallel story of Arden and Fiona’s struggle for attention from their parents is the classic tale of sibling rivalry. Any pre-teen girl who likes books about the supernatural will enjoy “Long Lost”.
