Spellbook of the Lost and Found
by Moïra Fowley-Doyle
Laurel, Holly and Ash are three best friends, as close as a coven; when Holly's diary is stolen and read aloud at school by a bully, the other two are devastated for her. In the woods they find a spellbook, with a spell meant for calling back lost objects. They decide to cast it to get back the diary, not realizing that the spell requires a sacrifice.
Olive and Rose are best friends who decide to attend the annual spring bonfire party with the intention of drinking too much, crying, making a mess and coming home. But when they wake up in the morning each of them has lost things they weren't prepared to lose.
Hazel and her twin brother Rowan ran away from home with their best friend Ivy; all three have been squatting in an empty house in an abandoned development outside of town. They have already lost a lot, and feel like they can't afford to lose anything else. When the spellbook comes into their hands, they have to decide: is it worth the potential sacrifice to try and call back something they'd dearly like back?
I listened to this as an audiobook, and while I greatly enjoyed the Irish accents of the three narrators, I think I would have liked the book as a whole better if I had been reading it in print. There were a few sections in the middle that felt very slow, but it picked up at the end, and I was delighted to figure out the major twist slightly before the characters figured it out for themselves.
