The Lost Story by Meg Shaffer

5.0

The Lost Story by Meg Shaffer is magic. The story is inspired by the Chronicles of Narnia as if it were a real life fairytale. It will take you to other worlds and glimmer with magic. 

Emilie has a half sister who was lost in the woods as a teenage. After losing her mother, Emilie is inspired to ask Jeremy, an investigator who finds lost women all over the world, to help her locate her sister. 

The Lost Story was beautifully written. I was so excited to read it after loving The Wishing game. Meg Shaffer makes these fantasy-ish story’s come to life. As a child I loved the children’s movie The Hugga Bunch and this story reminded me of it. It was nostalgic and made me smile. It was happy and hopeful and truly glittered. There are no words to capture how this story made me feel. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing, Ballantine for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion. I can’t wait to read what Meg Shaffer writes next!
