At school, she's keen along with her best friend, Happi and roped in foster sister Bex, to arrange a group for lost and found misfit students to feel free to meet up at to make friends and it may also help to keep their library where they hold the meetings open.
When Marley, a misunderstood student and Lexi's paths cross, he mistakes the group for auditions of a musical kind and takes along other musicians with him to what he believes are for a band. Despite the mix up, all their talent would be going to waste so they decide to create a band and so The Lost and Found are born! However trouble ensues as the council plans to close ALL the local libraries leaving them nowhere to meet up or any of the other groups to meet who use the library. As they begin to campaign to keep the library open, local celebrity Louisa Winters helps them out and from Lexie she has a huge shock I never saw coming at all as does Marley as he gets close to Lexie.
All the group have their secrets which I'm sure will be revealed little by little over time as the series develops on but for now the hints show many serious topics will be brought up from refugees, mental health, parenting and more.
The book is very serious as Lexie feels lost and that by writing letters to her mum she'll come back to her again. It's a sad premise but we see how settled and happy day to day she is now and hope is a good thing to keep for so long as she realizes deeper on into the story as you'll always get hurt but not everything is as bad as it may seem or feel.
A great new series beginning from Cathy once again!
