The Lost Girl by Anne Ursu
5.0
I love books by Anne Ursu. They make sense of the world. When the world feels wrong Anne Ursu's books make it feel right. The Lost Girl was no exception.
Iris and Lark are identical twins. They do everything together and everyone knows that is the way it should be. Until everyone decides they think differently. In the fifth grade Lark and Iris are given separate classes so that they can 'find themselves'. Iris knows she has to protect Lark because Lark isn't like other people. When things start disappearing and mysteries start appearing Iris knows she has to protect her sister. But does Lark need protecting?
This book was wonderful. The relationship between Lark and Iris felt exactly the way a relationship between sisters should be: the need to protect and the reality that you both need protecting. And the magic. I loved the magic.
