Lost and Found by Orson Scott Card 5 Stars

Description:
Are you really a thief?”
That’s the question that has haunted fourteen-year-old Ezekiel Blast all his life. But he’s not a thief, he just has a talent for finding things. Not a superpower—a micropower. Because what good is finding lost bicycles and hair scrunchies, especially when you return them to their owners and everyone thinks you must have stolen them in the first place? If only there were some way to use Ezekiel’s micropower for good, to turn a curse into a blessing. His friend Beth thinks there must be, and so does a police detective investigating the disappearance of a little girl. When tragedy strikes, it’s up to Ezekiel to use his talent to find what matters most.

I received this copy of Lost and Found from NetGalley to read and review!

Orson Scott Card does it again! He is one of the few authors that I have read that are really able to bring his characters to life. Lost and Found is considered a YA sci-fi book, but I think it's a great book for almost any age.
Ezekiel wasn't the most loveable character, but Beth certainly brought out the best in him. As he discovers all the different ways he can use his power, he grows more confident in himself. The friendship between Beth and Ezekiel seemed quite natural, without out the forced romance you often find in YA books.

I give this book a solid 5 Stars, and I truly hope there will be a sequel/series. I'd like to read more of Ezekiel's adventures!

Release date: 9/10/19
