A review by yapha
The Lost Girl by Anne Ursu

5.0

Whether or not you have an identical twin or even wish you did, this book is a must read. How many times have children been told something is for their own good and only seen the complete disruption of their lives? I love that Iris and Lark are complex girls (like most are) but also that all of the adults in the book are shown as varying degrees of good and bad. No one is perfect, no matter how much we try to be and even decisions made with the best of intentions can have disastrous consequences. What matters most is how we apologize, correct the mistakes, and continue to move forward. Highly recommended for grades 4 & up.
